C'mon all you brilliant WDFW scientists, can you say SUBSAMPLE confused Surely you can get one of your biometricians to design a sampling scheme that produces close to 90% confidence by limited randomly sampling of different landing locations over a 4-5 week period - a 100% sample is not necessary here. Neither is a 100% boat count. I'm sorry, but 120K is enough to the job adequately with the luxury of the record sample size that is predicted. And with all the other things that have to "fall off the plate" in todays government funding climate, it will have to be enough, won't it? Quit whining and do your jobs rolleyes
