This is a very true statement. Unless you're involved in the industry (be it commercial, tribal or recreational) you have absolutely no idea what is going on and hence, have no care in the world.

As long as you can go to the store and buy a salmon filet for under $40 per pound (which will change soon enough after all of this mismanagement catches up with us and there are no more fish to be caught), no one cares.

Depressing.

At least it's a pink year....Which I'm sure like chum will become the next one to become over exploited.
