So if NOAA-F/NMFS wields the Policy hammer on PFMC, would they not have similar influence over the NPFMC which has jurisdiction over Alaska's marine fisheries?

If the whole premise of all this posturing is that US-managed fisheries should not be LOW-HOLING the endangered orcas, then curtailing chinook exploitation in Alaska MUST be part of the overall package.

Is it safe to conclude that this could finally be the hammer that puts the northern intercept fisheries in Alaska on notice to make them accountable for their impacts on stocks destined for a migratory path thru the SRKW's feeding grounds?

Carcassman? Salmo G? Cohoangler?
