PNW...I wish I knew where your "apologist for the tribes" role comes from. I don't condone breaking the law but when it comes to the tribes the only law they know is their own. Tribal crabbers have been out for about a month and will be out in force for months. They decide when and where and how to exploit the resource that the courts so foolishly gave them claim to. They go into areas they are not supposed to be in and take all the crab....undesized, females , soft shells....then they relocate them to their designated areas to propogate for their use while scouring the beds where the recreational crabbers go. They fish out areas before we even get to start and YES they do rob the pots of sports crabbers all the time. They are above the law and need to be reigned in some day soon. The $5 million in gambling profits they spent to defeat I-892 was an example of their greed. The money they make off the casinoes was specifically to go for things to benefit the community not to pay lobbyist and pay politicians to maintain monopolies and dominate our fisheries..There is a war coming and the tribes are the only ones who can stop it by getting along and by understanding that no one ever intended for them to be above the law to thumb their noses at the rest of us. I don't care how badly screwed over they think they were 200 years ago. They need to accept the scorn they are getting and the consequences of their greed in the future if they make no attempt to get along. I'd say cut off all their crab floats if it wasn't against the law. Tell Safeway to stop buying their crab. Don;t pull their pots and risk arrest. Protest and get involved with the groups that will dare to take them on with both barrels. The tribes deserve all the scorn they breed.
