Here is how salmon will become a winner. Current promoted returns will lose populations and have smaller fish. Populations keep tumbling. Management has finally succeeded by meaningless mental infatuations zoned out from being wrong. They have stayed on their sensationalized course no matter how low fish counts get.
Now the capacity to change any procedure is locked in the government castle and made unchangeable. Alone in their own sandbox to play in is a victory for them, not the salmon. Salmon are now led by pirate-like people working from one drawer of the tool box dictating long-term perfumed assumptions.
The current processes salmon are forced into will end in the most damaging failure ever promoted. Managers need to be held responsible but have gotten away with fish dying, and overharvests. We have hand-me-down perceptions that will continue by the dictating groups concealing failures, or programs losing fish into a non-sustaining vaporized abyss. No one is happy.
A valuable capable resource is being wasted. We have the best fish science on the globe wasting time and opportunity by being so restrictive that it loses, while still allowed to go low enough to win.
