Which is exactly why your efforts to open up the meetings are so thoroughly justified. I can only assume that WDFW doesn't support opening up the meetings is also because they don't want anyone else to see and hear what occurs in that room.

What? Things like the wild Queets coho "escapement floor" being lowered to 1/2 of actual goal in 2016 to allow ocean salmon fishing in MA's 1-4 to occur at all? This year, the co-managers are once again conceding a lowered "escapement floor" because it's simply too socio-economically inconvenient to look out for real conservation. The fake kind is just so much easier to swallow.
