Oh I'm sure they have their eyes on the larger and more plentiful crab in Hood Canal. I heard someone on the radio discussing derelict gear in Puget Sound in their context of creating more marine sanctuaries and even those extremists were focussing on sports fishing. They went on and on about the nylon fishing line stuck on the bottom and how much damage that does to marine life....No mention of commercial overharvest and greed. Since salmon prices are so poor there is more emphasis on higher priced seafood like crab and shrimp and geoduck. It looks like the shellfish industry is trying to force the sports fishers out of the Sound.
