When the statement is made that "we" let ALASKA's fleet harvest our fish, it's only part of the equation. We (the US) have no control over BC fisheries, which also harvests in the ocean, but AK fisheries harvests their fish where they know they will encounter BC, WA and OR bound salmon, rather than harvest closer to their home rivers, where the bulk of the salmon would be their own. NOAA F CAN and SHOULD help force changes to harvest practices. That's the "WE" that was referred to.

Then include salmon "bycatch" numbers, like what is in the following article, and the "impact" of commercial fisheries is all the more depressing.
