Up north we struggle with management that just doesn't seem to make sense to anyone but the government department doing the management. <BR/><BR/>The result has been a disaster for commercial and sport fisheries alike.<BR/><BR/>Keep slugging and don't give up the fight.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>SteveSteve Dobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03850567525708829500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29155086.post-13666681325215846392009-02-19T09:20:00.000-08:002009-02-19T09:20:00.000-08:00Aldo Leopold described this best in A Sand County ...Aldo Leopold described this best in A Sand County Almanac.<BR/><BR/>It all boils down to what we think 'resource management' means. Is a resource to be used and managed/ A natural resource such as salmon, cutts, steelhead, become much the same as coal, water, timber, minerals, etc.<BR/><BR/>When Leopold started in the Forest Service, he described the early service as pretty much concerned with cutting down trees, and managing the cutting down of trees.<BR/>Deer were managed by shooting wolves. Less wolves and more deer = good.<BR/>Then he began to think...<BR/>Perhaps the Dept. of failure and waste should read this book?<BR/><BR/>It all comes down to money.<BR/>Fish are just another revenue generator for OR.
