The Decision, as reviewed by the Supremes, gave the Tribes the right to UP TO 50% of the catch or the level of catch necessary to support a moderate living. The rest is distributed amongst the non-Indian user groups. They don't have a right, at least in Boldt, to more than 50%.

Now, WA can agree to allow the Tribes to harvest more than 50% for whatever reasons the state chooses to believe. I am sure that there are very good reasons why WDFW rolls over, but these need to be publicly explained.
