Whe Hoh v. Baldridge first came out, WDF staff supported essentially closing the Ocean to ensure that harvestable fish returned to the Tribal terminal area. The Tribes and Feds both said "No, just share the catch". Which meant that if the ocean NI fishery took 1,000 of stock A, then Tribe A gets at least 1,000. And, they stopped doing updates and went to fixed schedules.

In-season management is staff-intensive. For the NI side, it also shifts harvest generally to the nets the recs can't take all the share in a short amount of time that the fish are present. The other piece is that the burden of conservation falls on whoever fishes after the update, which is always the Tribes and in-river sporties.
