If I'm reading this right, the CCA and their leader Nello Picinich (that support SB 5617) are at direct logger heads with Ron Warner and the PSA (that oppose the ban on commercial gill nets)...or is it just Warner who publicly stands in support of commercial gill netting? How can that be?
How many of the PSA rank and file are in line with their President? I sense it's a a shallow minority. We Recs practice selective fishing methods, while the Comms indiscriminately kill everything coming into their gill nets...including ESA chinook.
Pretty hard to get past that. What say you, PSA members? Are you in harmony with your leadership? Do you advocate the continued use of gill nets, especially given the peril facing the SRKWs and general depletion of our salmon resource? Speak up...
