Unfortunately, that is not always the case. I know for a fact that the Nisqually tribe has not agreed to a crab harvest number for at least the two most recent seasons and probably not for this season. And for the two seasons before they quit agreeing they simply had a horrendous catch reporting system and exceeded their agreed upon number by 3X then 2X and then quit agreeing to any number. Can't be criticized for overharvesting when you haven't agreed to a number.
