What I remember about the "Port Ludlow Accord" as it was so proudly named, was it was agreed by the state and the tribe to "Cooperatively" manage the fisheries. That wording is subtely diffrent from "Co". At the time Wilkerson did what's right because the state was being taken to court regularly and losing almost every case. When Dennis Austin was in the upper levels of Fisheries he talked wth me about having to close some tribal seasons due to conservation needs. I think he was serious about doing that but was over ruled by politics. I've always wondered why, if the state is really concerned about endangered segments of runs why it couldn't prevail in court? There is a dispute resolution process already established, and its not being used. Why?
