RESOLUTION NO. 112-83
A Resolution Declaring
The Commercial Salmon Industry in Jefferson County
An Economic Disaster as a result of "El Nino".
WHEREAS, Washington State fisherman are facing the
most disastrous salmon season in recent memory. The amount of
salmon caught has declined precipitously from previous years; and
WHEREAS, the fish that have been caught have generally
been much smaller in size and weight than would be expected in
normal fishing years. This situation is due in large part to an
ocean condition known as "El Nino", which is characterized by a
lack of ocean upwellings and high water temperatures; and
WHEREAS, the disastrous salmon season in 1983 has re-
sulted in substantial and unrecoverable economic loss and impact
on the commercial salmon industry within Jefferson County; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND HEREBY ORDERED BY
THE JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS that the commercial
salmon fishing industry in Jefferson County is an economic disaster
as a result of the 'IEl Ninoff ocean condition.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this }9-(!Yday of November, 1983.
