MPM/Cohoangler,

To my knowledge it hasn't been adjudicated, but seems likely to be the new battleground. To me it's seeming like we're entering a new phase of management (and resulting legislation/litigation).

The first phase was the time of plenty, and the treaty was struck. Nobody ever considered that the fish might be a limited resource, so it was easy to split it.

The second phase, the 70's fish wars, was the phase where it became clear the fish were limited and we fought over access to those harvestable fish.

This third phase, now seems like it's likely to me that the driving factor will pivot to being ESA impacts. Given the dominant share of impacts the tribes (gillnets) have, it seems at least possible (likely?) that this is a weakness of their position going forwards.
