Doc hit it on the head here guys and is 100% accurate. The 14% was the baseline harvest rate for recovery in the AHA model runs, was submitted by myself and others for consideration, was the chosen recommendation submitted by the Advocacy on behalf of the majority of the AD HOC Advisers along with citizens participating. Agency staff refused to present it to the Commission as a option. What we have here is blatant pressure by the Commercial fleet and WDF&W staff who support them to derail reform in Willapa. I urge you to e mail or write the Commission urging them to stand firm and reject this attempt to derail reform in the Willapa fisheries with misrepresentation and falsehood.
