The most important fisheries to curtail are those that take juveniles and immatures. The whales eat the maturing/mature fish. By focusing the argument in the Straits and San Juans, the real killers get ignored. Close the Starits and San Juans and leave the contiguous areas of BC open? That works how?

Providing for the SRKWs would benefit the fishers in the terminal areas. Perhaps this is how it would be. The terminal areas bear the burden of habitat restoration, protection, controls, and such. They should be first in line for the rewards.
