At a minimum, a "population" is a location (ConservationUnit) and a species (Taxon). We are hoping to have more population data someday, but right now that's all we have. Need a script to add populations to the database. The easiest way to do that at present might be to parse the conservation unit shapefiles - there's one shapefile per taxon - and just provide the taxon as an argument to the script.
Might also be useful to write a quick utility script to pre-populate the "Taxon" table with the seven salmon species, but that may belong in data-prep-actions, or as an alchemy action.
