There are two aspects. First, if we fail to do this we will lose what we currently have. Our natural production is disappearing. I'm not talking about upgrading what we have; we need to look at new options and new facilities.
I'll give you an example. We have about 850 to 900 steelhead coming back to the Thompson River this year. The Salmon River and the Clearwater River in Idaho have already passed 350,000. Last year we had zero angler days at $100 minimum per angler day on the Thompson River. From their hatchery production they had almost 300,000 angler days on those two rivers. That generates $19 million to $20 million minimum in economic activity. If we don't do this, we won't maintain what we have. If we do it, we'll have an excellent opportunity to expand and sustain our fisheries.
As we develop a plan, we may find that we want to switch or have to switch to other species than salmon, but that's part of what the planning process is about.
