C-man,

Of course it is more complicated, just as you have said. But we have gotten nowhere, really, after forty years. We salmon advocates need to get together and speak LOUDER ! but we don't. Heck, PSA and CCA can't agree. I think those two organizations ought to at least agree and demand the elimination of a lot of sealions and seals. I'm guessing the tribes would agree, too.

A better polltical strategy would be for the organizations to hold WDFW accountable for certain actions, along with attendance of state reps and senators at OUR meeting rather than the home court advanteges held by WDFW at Commission meetings. We need Town Hall style meetings.
