This whole moratorium thing seems to me to be more of an allocation, who gets what, issue that has been thinly disguised as one of conservation. As such, angler activism might be considered to be of paramount importance.

On the conservation side of the coin, it an attempt to preempt the normal guidance provided to the Commission by the WDFW professionals and usurp their regular wildlife management trust and duty with a politically motivated blanket policy.

In my opinion our resources are best managed on a day to day and case by case basis in accordance with the best science and the guidelines provided by law. I would not like to see our resources managed by the whims of public opinion.
