Well start with what we know. We have a problem in the Puget Sound area. I'm not hearing anything about trout in Kentucky. A lot of environmnental regulation got its start with regulation in California that spread from there. It's easier to get something passed locally than to get national support from day one.

> I'm not hearing anything about trout in Kentucky. That probably says more about environment research funding in Kentucky than it does their fish. Washington is one of the most pro-science states in the US, the Puget Sound area has one of the greatest concentration of environmentally focused people, and salmon are historically deeply ingrained in Washington culture. If it took all of that to garner enough resources to discover this problem, imagine all of the other environmental disasters out there that we're simply oblivious to.
