Extinction Closing In On Species of Salmon

The state’s iconic fish is facing possible extinction.  According to a Watersheds report just compiled in Washington state, climate change is behind it.  The report says 10 of 14 salmon and steelhead species are at a borderline extinction point right now.  As the climate changes, the Governor’s Salmon Recovery Office in Washington says glaciers that have been melting into the streams bearing salmon are expected to disappear, and they say that will dramatically worsen conditions for salmon survival.
