Baker River Sockeye

Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch is considered to be the foremost reference for sustainable fishing and purchasing worldwide. 10s of thousands of restaurants across the country use it to buy seafood responsibly. Do you have a better source of information? I'm certainly open to it if you do. Fish Choice is another that we follow religiously for selling seafood.

As far as the tribes harvesting 100% of the sturgeon north of the Columbia is concerned, that's because the WDFW has cut everyone else out. Maybe this is an issue you have with them. I don't know. Or maybe you have an issue with the treaties that Congress passed and the President signed. I don't know. And I don't know if your issue is fact based on scientific data or on emotions and bias. But I do know The Lummi Indians are good stewards of their resource and that the only reason you can catch Baker River sockeye at all is the work they've done with the government to fix the problems that almost made that run extinct.

Seafood watch misses plenty. Peninsula steelhead are another local example.

Like I said, give me another source.

I wish I knew one. In some ways it seems almost worse to certify things as healthy when they certainly are not. I suppose it’s better than operating completely in the dark.

And by the way boys and girls when you don't see nets in the river you can take a boat ride and see them at loan tree point or three nets deep in front of deception pass. Fish may be plentiful but not for all,  just those privilege few with monofilament nets, because you know that's a tradition way to fish
