From the Puget Sound Gillnetter's and local tribes's official dictionary:

Habitat: creative buzz word to feed to the media to focus the public's attention off of the real reason why we have endangered Puget Sound Chinook.

Buying out commercial licenses is the only way we'll get our fish runs back! Let's not kid ourselves here. Notice how abundant our coho runs have been since Canada started "buying out" and limiting the netting in neighboring Georgia Straight to the north?; and why do we have such an excellent summer run season and first time king fishery on the Sky this summer, because NO NETS are in the way!!!!

The Tulalips do deserve some credit here. They have every right to net summer and fall fish on the Sky, but they don't, because they are aware the impacts there nets will have on returning Snohomish system endangered native Chinook.
