Quote from the end of the article...

"Experts are uncertain about what caused the collapse, citing dozens of factors.

Marine scientists blame an unusual weather pattern that triggered a collapse of the marine food web in 2005, the year most of this year's returning adults were entering the ocean as juveniles.

Fishermen, environmental groups and American Indians largely blame the salmon's troubles on poor water quality and water diversions in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta."

Water diverstions. We need to do everything possible to prevent groups that are after the water from the Great Lakes from getting their wish.
