I don't know if I would say people who work in the field of fisheries or fisheries biology have much of a clue what's going on. I don't know if there is truely one example where our management styles of natural resources has been a success in the long term.

Look around the globe, where ever humans have sought to exploit a natural resource for comercial purposes bad things result. WDFW has done no better than the rest of the world. You would have thought that since we had a few hundred years to learn from EUrope and the East Coast Atlantic Salmon we might have figured it out, unfortunately this is not the case.

People that go along with the program which is an obvious pathway to extinction just to get a retirement, nice cars and a house is not a good excuse.
