Despite the lack of a strong rebound in the Dungeness crab resource (all size classes) in MA 11 the Puyallup tribe forced the issue and is currently crabbing there. Ongoing negotiations ultimately resulted in a reduction (approx 18%) in their original target harvest number and WDFW is now looking at how they might prosecute a recreational season on what is a low poundage and not exceed that share. More to come.
