But if WDFW hasn't submitted the required paperwork, then shame on them.

If they have, and NOAA-F hasn't acted upon it, then shame on them for not doing it, and shame on WDFW and the tribes for not suing them to make them do their JOB.

And this is why I chimed in on this thread in the first place; laying it on only one agency without the facts is premature.

And while I understand the concept that at some point a lawsuit may be necessary I am also a believer in progressive steps. What actions, if any, has WFC taken to elevate this matter either to the State or Feds prior to actually filing suit? If they have sat on their hands for a number of years and then file suit (shortly before this year's production is ready for release) then they, too, are a part of the problem.
