Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses. This has been fascinating.
We read about the blob, which is a huge mass of warm water out in the Pacific Ocean. Depending on whom you speak to, that's what's forcing the really good plankton that salmon like farther north, leaving the salmon with a less desirable version of plankton.
That's going to be a tough nut to manage. Among the things, though, that we have a lot more control over.... We'll start with you, Mr. Walters. If we can't cool off the Pacific Ocean, what are the next best things we can do for the health of our stocks?
