Hardly. Logging is a huge industry up-and-down the west coast, just like it is in the southeast. It's just not a free-for-all.
Commercial fishing underwent the same process, but nobody is saying commercial fishing is dead. There's still resentment. The labor market shrank. But AFAICT the fishing industry isn't in denial about the fact that regulation, including quotas, was needed. Especially after some of the fisheries bounced back.
