Spinning our Wheels

How many voices of how many persuasions, all claiming to be devoutly concerned about the future of wild salmon (steelhead are completely off the radar), are now engaged in the processes that are reasonably bracketed by the definition of “collaboration”? Wikipedia states “collaboration is the process of two or more people, entities or organizations working together to complete a task or achieve a goal. Collaboration is similar to cooperation”. Their definition goes on to state “Most collaboration requires leadership, although the form of leadership can be social within a decentralized and egalitarian group (defined as one believing in or based on the principle that all people are equal and deserve equal rights and opportunities)“. Oops, all of a sudden the term collaboration is just slightly out of sync with what governments would have us believe recreational anglers are engaged in today.
