Help Clean the Clack!

Clack_cleanup_3

How many times a year can you paddle a river and do good for the world at the same time? Where else can you treasure hunt for discarded lawn chairs and end up with keys to a BMW, or that mis-matched pair of flip-flops you’ve always wanted? And how many times can you remember sitting in an eddy when a scuba diver pops up next to you clutching a garbage bag plump with aluminum cans with a smile on his face?

We can’t think of too many experiences in life quite like this one… CLACKAMAS RIVER CLEAN UP

Makah overfishing having big effects

Bingo

Big news here in the Pacific NW.

The outcry from anglers regarding the blatant over fishing by the Makah tribe and how WDOFW allowed it to happen has gotten the attention of some of the state's politicians.

LINK

The Makah are also the tribe pushing for annual whaling permits and who were in the news back in 1999 for hunting a Grey Whale.

The ancestral heritage argument for whaling and fishing rights pale in the ancestral glow of casinos, firework stands and tax free smoke shops.

In Fish vs. Farmer Cases, the Fish Loses Its Edge

Sm_fish_1

One of our goals is to highlight the assault on endangered fish populations and their habitat. We will also highlight the network of groups that do the heavy lifting when it comes to preserving that habitat and those vulnerable fish. If you're a fisherman and your level of environmental activism ends at your TU membership card you should dedicate some fishing time getting involved in preserving what remains of endangered fisheries.

San Francisco - Legal fights over water in the West are as common as summer rains are rare. But a flurry of cases in California is attracting intense attention from scholars and state officials who see them as an extraordinary assault by agricultural interests on protections for endangered fish and other wildlife.
