I am still a bit confused on the NOAA permit. Does the tribes application still have to address Boldt, or would they be able to ask for all the available fish and show how they meet the ESA requirements. If so, then would the state be able to file a quick injunction to show that Boldt was being violated? If they do have to address Boldt in their application, does the state get to put in a response and wouldn't any permit then have to tactically agree to the allowable take by the non-treaty fisheries. I realize that the non-treaty side would have to show how they are meeting the ESA take limitations via the different fisheries and methods, but it should be a lot easier if we all agree on an allowable take number. It would also seem it would make it very easy to meet the requirements for a lot of the in river fisheries.
