Natives Protest Sockeye Fishing Closures
#2
There was so much in your blog that was not being said.


The fact that the fish were over harvested in the ocean on their return trip to the river I am sure had a roll in the "estimated return count" how else could any one be able to guesstimate any kind of figure unless some one was following each school across the ocean...


But lets just say for sake of argument that a huge number of fish were caught tagged and released with electronic collars and some one got in a boat and followed the school and dove down Nemours times to see the fish being eaten or dieing in the ocean, Don’t you think it would make more sense to take a few tribesmen educate them in to scientist and put them on the monitoring team?


This long neglected short-comings of both US and Canadian governments in keeping those who have the greatest interest in the thick of all scientific studies. With out this any thing handed down to sportsmen or tribesmen will appear only to be propaganda and another infringement on their culture and life style..


Yes this would mean putting tribesmen on expeditions, coastal fishing regulatory agencies, and they would have to be an emissary of a tribal fact finding and would report back directly to tribal consul.


Yes it is the responsibility of the governments to get these people involved in all aspects that affect natural harvesting of fish weather by sport commercials or tribal use....
