I think we are approaching this net thing all wrong. The commercial fisher (tribal or not) is always going to have a right to fish if there is harvestable numbers. Why can’t they be forced to fish selectively like the recs have! The technology is out there. Traps and fish wheels have been around for decades. Purse seiners can, if they chose, fish selectively. A minimum level of by-catch mortality should be established. This would almost certainly eliminate gill nets and draggers. If they can prove an acceptable by-catch let them fish. Let the Tulalips use their gill nets inside the bay by their hatchery but not outside. If we can establish into law minimum by-catch standards, maybe like the percentages used in hooking mortality in C&R recreational fisheries, the net issue would be mute.
