First Plus 1, thank you for the outstanding report.

I am trying to draw an analogy between the date the prohibiting of the killing of pinnipeds came into effect in Puget Sound and the decline of the rockfish population since that date. There seems to me to be a direct correlation. The limiting of pesky predacious pinnipeds appears to me one of the major steps in revving the rockfish populations.

Does anyone know: What is major reason given by the powers-that-be as to why they have not began limiting or getting permission to limit the pinnipeds populations?

If you anglers don’t start participating in these meeting anent rockfish and Marine Protection Areas( MPAs) you will soon find yourselves perched on piers, peering out over a vast MPA ,AKA: Puget Sound, in which you may not fish.

This is not a joke nor just a minor rockfish problem.

Please go to the meetings, e.g., the meeting in Olympia, this evening, 4 Nov 09.
