Co-management? Co-management? I ask no one on this board use this term, unless using it in jest. There is no co-management.

50%/50% from Boldt does not exist, and the WDFW does not pursue our fair and legal share of the catch. The gap favoring the treaty share is growing all the time.
The following chinook catch numbers are from sworn declarations filed with the U.S. District Court:
Year Treaty catch State catch
2017 59% 41%
2018 57% 43%
2019 58% 42%

That's a difference of 124,696 chinook over that 3 year period.

For 2020, the WDFW agreed to a 62% vs. 38% split for chinook (111,615 treaty catch vs. 69,622 for non-treaty fishermen). And oh, for the single year of 2020 coho, there were 40,000 fewer coho for the non-treaty share. There is no “make-up to balance numbers next season.” For Christ sake, that would be co-management! (The numbers above are what WDFW freely agreed to in negotiations with the treaty share; I don't know what the actual catch numbers were.)

In crab, you already quoted some recent numbers, but that’s not anything new. For the 17 year period from 2001 to 2017, WDFW management reports that the treaty crab catch was 10,250 pounds more than the state catch…PER YEAR. That’s 17 x 10,250 less crab than WDFW should have secured for our state share. Was there a “make-up to balance numbers next season?” Of course not. WDFW will not negotiate to balance the share as the law provides, or as they are supposed to for the thousands of state citizens they are supposed to represent. We lose more opportunity every year. Year, after year, after year…

Common sense and logic dictates WDFW should recoup and balance harvest shares as granted TO BOTH TREATY and NON-TREATY by Boldt. The treaty share does it. WDFW does not.

Co-management? Where's our representation?

(I'm not against Boldt or treaty rights, I just want my fishing rights and the state rights observed and recognized, instead of neglected and randomly observed. I'm not asking for anything more than "in common".)
