Krijack,

The co-managers presumably share all their catch data...

Those ideas about limits and regulations in Elliott Bay are fine examples of the types of discussions that take place at the North of Falcon meetings...all fisheries have impacts, and all fisheries have goals...the goals are set at NoF, and the impacts are traded around to satisfy the different goals.

The goals are met to a varying degree, depending on the "greater good"...or depending on the "greater and louder representation"...and believe it or not, I'd say clamoring repeatedly for a fishery will work as well, if not better, then showing how great your fishery is, if you're at NoF arguing for it.

Fish on...
