Thanks everyone for their support for NOF. It has been the toughest one yet. Once again more fishing closures were brought on and our Marked select fishing was not recognized from the tribes. It was a travesty.
We met all of our obligations going into the negotiations. The tribes did not. They did not turn in their performance review that was due by March 1 to explain how they would not go over their take on ESA listed fish. To date, I don't believe this has been done.
The broadcast from the tribes are saying no fishing. But thats for us and not them. They still intend to fish. Maybe not targget them but they will impact the coho.
We did not have much left on the table after years of negotiating to the bottom. The new Director stood strong against the NOF Failure. This failure can be put right on NOAA as they have not required the tribes to adhere to the rules.
Please sign the votervoice as it is time for change so we can get the Section 7 permit fo fish on our own.
