The only down side I see is that it will wipe out a more organized lobby, commercials,that have some power in dealing with the tribes. That said, I remember the early 80's too when the coast guard had to guide the Edmonds/Kingston ferry across the sound because it was wall to wall nets. Boats strung the entire width of the sound. Nearly the same as the tribes stringing nets across the rivers. And as for laws, non-tribal laws are rarely enforced either. A shift of the resource? So? Commercials have repeatedly demonstrated a rape and pillage attitude. Same as the logging industry. It needs to stop.
