Tsk, tsk. Come on Eyefish, you know the sovereign nation-state of Alaska does not yield to the SUS (southern US) over un-shared conservation issues. I say un-shared because AK does not have an endangered orca problem. WA and BC have an orca problem. The NRKW population segment is doing just fine (low-holing the SRKWs). Any global observer can see that the SRKW, like its SUS Chinook angler, is doomed to extinction. On the evolutionary pathway it is quite clear that low-holing is simply a survival adaptation. Darwin would no doubt approve!
