That's one way to go about it. Is it the most effective?

Nope, I support the SFS plan, but would not be opposed to using alternative harvest methods in the SAFE Areas if that what it takes for getting broader support from those opposed to gillnets no matter where they are deployed.

I think that there is a distinct possibility that future sport take fisheries will also be net pen/off channel areas.
Due to the negative effects hatcheries are having on native populations, at least until native stocks can sustain a limited harvest.
