Yes, I definitely would. We have offered our help to the department many times, to no avail. They continue along the lines of “We are in charge, we are the ultimate authority, and we are the best managers in the world.” All of it, of course, is proven by the state of our stocks today.
We only have a few thousand years of experience. What people don't think about is that when the newcomers arrived, every stream was a producer. Every river had multiple species that were reproducing, and that was not by accident. First nations were many more in population than even we are today. Those rivers and streams sustained us because of good management.
We know we can help. Just be open to it.
