College students are good for collecting data; not so much for advising policy. To do that right requires real life experience, which, through no fault of their own, they lack.

Like it or not, however, theirs is the viewpoint if the general public. The Tribes are virtually immune to smearing, as our culture of guilt has devolved to the point at which disagreement with what tribal spokespeople say is immediately dismissed as racist ignorance.

That's actually okay with me, because I want to focus on reducing commercial open ocean quotas so enough fish will return to support tribal and non-tribal fisheries (in other words, so that North of Falcon can work again). I have about the same chance of success, if not even less.
