I have to say that while I am not trying to be a "tree hugger" or anything of the sort. Plug in your own moniker for whatever you wnat to call it. There definitely has to be some dramatic and maybe even radical changes to the way that business is handled. Like I have said time and time before. We need to eliminate that variables that could change the results. And by that I mean the commercial side of anything. The recreational portions of the fisheries may also have to be added to the list too. Taking the state and dividing it up into sections, zones within a section or what have you and closing that whole area for five to six years just to see what would happen to the runs when left alone and nothing more is done to inhibit the fish or their habitat. The only access that is granted to the area is for the habitat recovery efforts, and that is it.

As for the commercial side of things, the lost income can supplemented by a fund that is set aside from a grant or something to that effect that will allow the fishing families that rely on the fishing for income and putting food on the table. I know that this maybe a little far fetched but something as dramatic as this I feel maybe the only way that we can achieve positive results. Ofcourse, there are plenty of ways to fix this but we all have to be willing to take a hit on this somewhere. We have had no problem sacrificing the fish our causes, now we have to be able to make a sacrifice for the fishes cause. Otherwise we are all sheet out of luck sooner or later.
