My guess is, and again I'm not speaking for the WAA, The organization would favor the direction the membership wanted, as long as it made good sceintific sense.(as well as common sense). One could be a Democrat or Republican and still not agree with everything a party does but sides with that party because they more closely align their ideals..Everyone will not agree with everthing, but if FISH are the focus, recovery, and/or enhancement, could take place. If for no other reason, having a voice at the "table" would be beneficial....Again just my opinion.....
