OUTTA the ball park.... W-H-E-W ! ! !


Interesting to consider future fisheries around the SRKW. Attached is a range and diet report from NOAA.

One can look at the range graph and sighting map and guess where and when fisheries could occur. No coastal or strait fisheries would be economically devastating to those communities, but by looking at the maps if restrictions came down, those locations and the San Juans would be the hardest hit. Simultaneously, North, Mid and South PS could see a boon in numbers if seasons were allowed. Optimistically speaking of course.
