Where to Watch Trouble at Sea
Trouble at Sea is available to stream on pbs.org and the PBS app.
About 30% of the salmon harvested in the state is from the hatchery program.
So you can put a dollar amount on that every year.
Release more fish into the ocean, and get more fish back.
But it's not that simple.
There is a limitation to the capacity of the ocean to support all of these fish.
Every single community is like this.
Empty fish racks bare with no salmon.
