We don't blame the tribes for the whole mess we just get pissed when the waters are closed to the taking of Salmon yet the tribal netters are out almost every single day. I've always said the root of the evil is in Alaska and the floating corporations. They wiped out the herring industry which had to lead to a big decline in salmon right there. Took away their food source. Yes they have a big lobby and the ultimate enemy of the common man, Slade Gorton, on their side. 'THE' ultimate solution, in my opinion, is a nationwide ban on all exports of sea life. We can no longer afford to support other countries just to make the rich richer. Just like the timber industry if we had never allowed exports of our resources there would still be plenty for generations to come. The ultimate irony is that this resource belongs to every citizen of the United States but it's been given to a few fat cats to harvest and sell back to us. And, when all close in waters have been depleted of food to the point that nobody can fish these few big corporations will then control our food supply permanently. The law should be every citizen is allowed two salmon per day and you can do whatever you want with them. You can sell them to buyers on the docks or take them home to eat. But no person or entity should ever be allowed to catch tons. Caught catching tons of fish and you go to prison.
