Also, there is a proposal floating around that the states could do a two year harvest ban (commercial only) and pay off the fishermen for lost income, and still have an economically viable way to bump the salmon runs. But, the return would be 4 years down the line, meaning -- it's not politically popular. The boost that those two years' worth of returning salmon would have in hatchling returns could kick start the whole system again. <BR/><BR/>LT: Thanks for the link, that person is more eloquent than I -- I'll probably repost it. I'll probably link up the site where folks can comment too. I was flying solo on this one, that's why there wasn't a link.<BR/><BR/>Matt: One concern I have about utilizing the sea lions is that with all the Columbia river fish they're eating, the meat might not be fit for human consumption. Leather and oil and NW aboriginal cultural uses would still be options however.Bpaulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10009087847894914228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-36201010302468100402008-02-07T15:12:00.000-08:002008-02-07T15:12:00.000-08:00Right on Stu.

What's it going to buy the sockeyes in Idaho, another two years tops? Come on. They've only got like three of the things coming back each year. <BR/><BR/>At the same time, I'm not opposed to poking holes in a few pinnipeds if they can make ceremonial shields, lamp oil and whatever the hell else you can get off a sea lion out of them.4https://www.blogger.com/profile/00931066767542933363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7508984726672877916.post-53191727696048264472008-02-07T10:56:00.000-08:002008-02-07T10:56:00.000-08:00I didn't see a link, BP, so here's one.

Is it just direct kills (harvest, incidental kills, etc) or does it include environmental impacts as well? If the latter, the 40% number seems low.<BR/><BR/>I would support a total harvest ban, including both sport and commercial fishing. The sticky bit would be to limit tribal fishing, which The Washington State courts have upheld as guaranteed by treaty. I think any reduction in tribal fishing would have to be a negotiated voluntary reduction.Stu Farnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15307685504238037394noreply@blogger.com
