This is not a gillnetter backed event! SOS simply a coalition of organizations which are fighting for the removal of dams on the Snake River. Some of those groups are commericals and tribes but so is the Sierra club and Oregon Trout! How does this event in any way, directly or indirectly, support gillnetters? They're raising money for SOS and having a lecture on salmon recovery and dams, period.

"Save Our Wild Salmon (SOS) is a nationwide coalition of more than 50 conservation organizations, sport and commercial fishing associations, businesses, river groups and taxpayer advocates collaborating to protect and restore sustainable wild runs of America's Pacific Northwest salmon and steelhead, and the habitats that they depend upon. We currently have offices in Seattle, Boise, Portland, Spokane, and Washington DC."

Here's a list of some of the groups who support SOS. http://www.wildsalmon.org/about/about_sos.htm
