The ruling has left hundreds of summer jobs in limbo but king salmon population are 'crashing' all along the west coast, with similar decisions taken in California and Oregon last month.
On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Richard Jones in Seattle ordered the National Marine Fisheries Service to carry out a new that is a prerequisite for the fishery to be allowed to happen.
The industry is hoping it will be released in time to allow fishing this year, or that the judge's decision is put on hold pending appeal. "All we can say at this point is that we are reviewing the ruling and considering next steps," NOAA Fisheries spokesman Michael Milstein said in a statement. Emma Helverson, executive director of Wild Fish Conservancy, said she was sympathetic to the communities' plight and hopes the government will make emergency funding available to support them. But she also said the industry had long overharvested the fish, also known as Chinook.They also form the majority of the diet for endangered orcas in the waters between Washington state and Canada.
