To those of you who thinks it will end the commercial gill net are wrong. The natives will alaways net and the reality of the small bussiness (commercial fishermen ) are in jeapordy from losing money and vessel.
But what you guys don;t understand is that if the small guys get hurt real bad and sell
their permits and vessels it will be morre trouble. as of now the larger commercial fleets are starting to target the salmon, if the permits are no longer fished it will go into an open quota to other vessels.
So it may be less vessels fishing for the salmon to the nakid eye but it will be gobbled up by the larger trawlers.
I have commercial fished for over 10 years and I can tell you that this industry has never be subsidised by the federal govt.
It will be better for the small guys to get subsidised by the govt, then have the Larger fleets take over. You will see what I mean when this happens. You will have even less of a chance to fight nets with all the money and politics behind the $$ companies.

What looks good on the outside is really deceiving, it is better to deal with the small guys then the larger fleets that will be gobbling the existing quota and the avaliable permits that will be on sale soon.
