Some of it may be in bookkeeping. Fish taken in WB normally count against WB only. The dip-ins are free. Plus, since WB is not part of I/NI sharing, none of those (if called WB fish) would count against shares.

A couple of solutions, while still allowing the area to be fished, would be to establish a composition and reflect that it planning and accounting. It is somewhat similar to a fishery that AK pursues, or at least used to. They accessed a modest number of Fraser sockeye in a specific net fishery. Those fish were then charged to and deducted from the US share, which reduced fisheries down here. Plus, since the fishery was outside of the are that the Fraser Panel controlled, they had no real input of the fishery; just hope they got the numbers in time to properly account for them.
