We need to ask WDFW what the most important result of management is. My guess is the #1 priority is not being taken to court by the Tribes. #2 is not being taken to court by the tribes.

The state is very afraid of Boldt II, as has been shown in the Culvert Case. They are right that there are huge implications across the country if the Tribes have veto over any sort of habitat impairment. I do hope That WA takes it to the US Supremes and that the other states file Amicus briefs. We need to have that sorted before we can move ahead.
