I actually am a non-native who use to work with the Tulalips at one time (1995-98) and I would have to say their pertty responsible when it comes to protecting watersheds and producing salmon. The Tulalip Bubble Fishery is a sport fishery provided to the non-native sport fishing guys, like myself, as a gesture of good will. They don't have to open it up if they don't want too, but many years ago, the Tribe made the offer to the state, therefore the creation of the fishery. The Tulalips have voluntarily quit netting the inside the snohomish river to protect summer chinnok and week native steelhead stocks (therefore a most recent improvement in the numbers of summer run steelhead returning). The Tulalip have replaced over a many culverts in the N.Fork Stilly that were blocking fish migration, and most recently they have over the past year have re-classified all the fish streams in snohomish county in order to challenge the County on its weak or lack thereof of adequate stream buffers. The Tulalips also kill sealions whenever they get a chance (I personally enjoyed this one). The only thing I was unhappy with was the Tribe's participation in the San Juan sockeye fishery. Other Tribes definately have worse track records.
