saying the proposal to open it last weekend was "science based" is meaningless. That's become a slogan. I am sure you can't quote any independent peer reviewed science publication to back it up. It was proposed because that was what rec angler wanted.
your off the mark on this on Ralph, what rec actually asked for is a week before that and it was declined, DFO said to wait for a higher ratio of pinks and local staff met, resource managers etc and declined it, last weekend met all the boxes and was approved.
Higher ratio of pink to sockeye, check, little to no intercept of stocks of concern check, was approved at reviewed by resource managers to a high level.
in the end politics got in the way
and it was not done by anglers, it was done by an internal DFO team that meets
This was outside of the SFAB/SFAC process
this internal team has again met and put together another proposal with dates.
will see what happens
Your just annoyed because DFO has came out and said that this is 100% delayed by first nations and that its a polotical decision. Some people within the department are very upset that this is not the way in season fisheries should be managed and basically an order went out saying to back off.
it is what it is saying we now need an independent peer reviewed paper in order to have a rec fishery. Is that not what the resource managers in dfo are for, to make those informed decisions.
I would say more but those in the department have already been warned that they could be reprimanded if they push this more.
