Unfortunately, poll questions are often very limiting in explanation.

But...YES and YES.

As to "need our help", that may entail simply leaving them alone and letting them do their thing..and that would include the complete cessation of Native Fisheries for them, as well.

I find it difficult to understand that (some) those peoples who historically have had a spiritual connection to the land and sea and mother nature are the ones most guilty (currently) of raping her bounty.

I hate to paint with such a broad brush, therefore more specifically there are individuals, most likely a very small percentage, within the native tribes that are causing the problems, and the tribal councils don't have the juevos (or perhaps legal authority?) to make them stop.

The tribes need (read: MUST) be pressured into passing their own, biologically sound laws and then enforcing them. Without that I believe the wild stocks won't recover.
