Compared to Washington.... In the time I've spent on the coast, in mark-selective fisheries, I've caught lots of chinooks that have had the adipose fin clipped. These are hatchery fish that are coming out of the Columbia. They're mixed in with some of the local fish from the Fraser. Of course, we have closures now, very punitive closures, because the department has basically said before the committee that the only tool it can use to restore salmon stocks is to reduce angler pressure, which I don't agree with.
We're talking about fundamentally changing the way the department approaches this. Through hatchery enhancement, hatchery use for scientific purposes, habitat improvement and using something called mark-selective fisheries, where we've seen a rebound of coho stocks, would this be part of an effective tool, in your opinion, when it comes to allowing harvest for sport fishing and harvest for first nations that is not as destructive as throwing a net in the water? In your opinion, are some of the recommendations from the sport fishing advisory board going to be part of the solution?
