This would be a great time for some kind of Summit, or the like on fisheries. With full disclosure of every aspect of all meetings. Print an understandable, to the point, report of those minutes in the 10 largest newspapers in the state. Send a copy to every post office. If a forum for public input does not exist, create one. Dont have closed or secret anything! Dont exclude someone because you cant come to an agrrement with them. Keep everyone involved. Win a negotiation because your ideas stood up to public scrutiny, and thiers did'nt.

It may cost some $, but it's money well spent. The alternative is one step foreward ,two back. That's what we have now.
