I think that a large part of a solution is public education. Right now, a huge majority of the public (even recreational fishermen) are not aware of how salmon harvest is managed, let alone the details of the process to include the public prohibition and consequential misleadings.

On way to educate and draw attention to this is through the use of social media. The messaging needs to be circulating in the public.

The other way is the use of the public meetings, to include the Commission meetings. At every meeting there needs to be a group of citizens who bring the issue up, over and over again. Especially at the Commission meetings. Even if it's not on the agenda. Since the Commission meetings ARE live-streamed, for every person speaking to the Commission, there are hundreds if not thousands who are seeing and hearing the testimony.

Although the Commission has been unwilling to correct the Departments behavior, they ultimately are the responsible party. They delegate the negotiation authority to the Department, yet they retain the supervisory control over the Director.

There needs to be unending heat put on the Commission. They must go to bed each night hearing the word Transparency, and wake up with the words accountability.

To date, it has been too easy for them to just ignore.
