It should be emphasized, that if the state believes that there is an emergency and that all fishing in the Queets must be stopped, then by that admission it should be taking the necessary means to fight the Tribal season. Remember, they are enacting an emergency season over the approved season. That means they should have data to support it. If they have the data, then they have an obligation to protect the resource by going to court. By allowing the tribe to fish, they either are acknowledging there is no emergency or that their data is suspect. Either way, they are definitely not acting in the best interest of the state.
