Which begs the question, what if the policy is ill suited to the natural and human-modified ecology of the Willapa basin? Is it the intent of WDFW to insist that a square peg be pounded into a round hole when there is no magic "MAKE IT FIT" button?



That is the purpose of this thread which is for everyone to know why and what is being done. Staff should follow any policy to the letter. It is the policy level in Olympia that make final decisions, Chad did not fail on this issue, now commercial harvest impacts being greater than required maybe not so much. Regardless it is Ron Warren that owns this mess in Willapa not the local staff.
