Got a question for you Salmo, based on your experience in/near NOF and the Fed Mindset.

When there was the argument over the MA10 fishery, the Tribes went and got their fisheries "approved". NOAA said that they could do the Tribes faster than the NI.

But, IF (and the is a big IF), the Tribal fisheries are based on expected NI fishery, and they must be in order to evaluate impacts, then reviewing one must include review of the other because if NI don't fish the run sizes and stock compositions all change and the impacts are different. Seems to me that unless one side proposes the other has no fishery, any analysis has to include both, and approval of one has to include approval of the other.
