I question the transparency process when value is not assigned to sport caught salmon. Hiding millions of dollars of value is not being honest or fair to the Sports Fishing Group. Which user group license and tag fees are paying for hatcheries and ODFW jobs? What about the Federal sport fishing excise tax that support at the Federal level? Hiding this is not transparency.
I question the transparency process when ODFW refuses to collect harvest tags for accurate harvest and spawning abundance. Guessing is not transparency. Guessing contributes to the decline of our coastal fisheries from over harvest. Not reporting the coho poaching situation is not being transparent and hurts listed threatened stocks. Under reporting this fish kill is not transparency and these fish need to be accounted for.

This apparent lack of transparency impacts the equitable sharing of this resource. The tribal treaty fishermen deserve equitable share and so does the Sports group. The under reporting and over harvesting is not equitable sharing this resource
