They beat that topic of poor compliance to death in Edmonds meeting also.

The slide show was a little disturbing on the inequity of crab caught in region 1 with commercials taking 80% to 20% over sports.
If you consider region 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3 close to a wash over region 4,5,and 6 where commercials aren't allowed to crab, then that would leave about 1.2- 1.5 million lbs of crab that the commercials catch over sports mostly because of region 1.
I'll let the staff use the argument that region 1 is a big boat environment which they use as the reason, if they are willing to balance the overage in region 1 and redistribute to region 2 in two parts, conservation, and the other part more crab available for population base in that area.

Sport crabbers in Region 2 use up all allotment and more in summer and then have to move to another area farther away passing commercials crab boats to get to the closest open rec. winter crabbing destination. NOT RIGHT.
