Chelsie Webb, Central Kitsap In response to B. Fleming's letter recently published in the Sun: Beavers are a friend to salmon, not a foe. Prior to colonization, beavers and salmon coexisted for hundreds of years. Before beavers were trapped near extinction, they covered North America with salmon habitat. Salmon are adept at going over, under, around and through dams; I witnessed a handful of chum take down a beaver dam on Barker Creek via blunt force in a matter of hours a few years back.
