If you fish for Salmon, Please read

This Petition is now Closed. After 1 week it seems that there's not enough interest.

This is NOT a poll

This petition has been started by a member of a forum I attend, "Lake Ontario United". And one of the guys started this petition for change. If you have a minute please read and sign the petition.

All it asks for is a name an email address. That information is kept private.

Please Help. This will help get the attention that the Chinook salmon needs.

Since the St. Lawrence Seaway will always remain open, Alewives will continue to persist in Lake Ontario. If you believe this premise then you must also understand that as long as there are Alewives, Chinook Salmon(Kings) will be needed to control this baitfish. Therefore, there will always be kings in Lake Ontario. In an attempt to stop Chinook Salmon from the continual treatment as a second rate "exotic" species by politicians who don't understand why an "exotic species" salmon program needs funding or by biologists who are in the hardcore "native species-only" camp. Perhaps changing the designation will lessen the burden. So lets start an online petition here.

The Welland Canal links Lake O to Lake Erie, which via the Detroit and St Clair River links to Lake Huron, which links to Lake Michigan. In effect creating a continuous connection between all waterways. This petition should apply to all great lakes. Come spend a day with Native Tribes here in Michigan and you would re-define the meaning of "hardcore native only". You don't have a commercial gill net fishery driving insane Lake Trout stocking like we do.

I attended a seminar lasy weekend hosted by the Ministry of Natural Resources who conducted research on the food source of game fish on Lake Ontario. The results were all gamefish examined ate alewife.
