Last month we told you the National Marine Fisheries Service had published regulations for a potential buyback of Southeast Alaska salmon seine permits.
The fishery currently has 379 permits.
Naturally, Deckboss was wondering how many permits we might retire, and at what cost.
Well, here's a reduction plan buyback organizers submitted to NMFS.
They accepted bids on 67 permits, with the bids totaling $13.65 million.
The document lists the owners of the 67 permits, and bid amounts for each.
The idea of the buyback is to trim the number of permits, especially latent permits, to preserve the value of the fishery for those who remain.
With the high price of pink salmon seen the past couple of seasons, active seiners are worried new boats might pile back into the fishery and water down profits.
Thus, they say, the timing for the buyback is ideal.
The expectation is that permit holders soon will vote on whether to shoulder a federal loan to actually carry out the buyback.
Pretty interesting given that the permit value is listed by the state at $147,000 with a range of $50,000. Particularly interesting when you look at some of the $250,000 bids where the permit holder has never had a seine boat, and bought their permit around five years ago when the state value for the permit was $55,900 at it's peak.
ReplyDeleteYou can buy back permits for less than the average gross.
ReplyDeleteThat means it's a good deal if you prevent these permits from re-entering the fishery for even one more season.....ever.
With prices over $.40, it's only a matter of time.
Buying back permits that haven't fished for years? How does that relate to reducing effort? What a scam.
ReplyDeleteThe State needs to be buying back these over issued permits.
They were the ones that created inflated optimum number plans that issued too many in the first place.
Bristol Bay is the worst case of too many permits issued. The State itself completed a reorganization study concluding with the NEED to reduce Bristol Bay drift permits by roughly 800. The State has since done NOTHING to remedy their over-issuance of permits.
NOTHING.
Juneau is quiet.
I am going to offer the low man 150k and go fishing.
ReplyDeleteBut you know Acoholics Anonymous, at the CFEC never actually applied the Constitutional Requirement of Limited Entry to Bristol Bay.
ReplyDeleteWas it not Rickey, who got 6 BB Permits himself?
Yes those history books are confusing, just like the term LIMITED, between the ears of the Commission.
S.E. Seine?
1974=459 Permits
2011=379 Permits
BB Drift?
1974=872 permits
2011=1875 permits
Evedently the "Shall Issue" clause is a Drift, instead of Seine Concept, of course the Criminal Actions of Rickey and Rickey, with many others, are most amusing at the Juneau, Calhoune Street Disposatory to!

ReplyDelete1.1 Previous Understandings of AS 16.43.290
The commission’s staff did considerable work on optimum numbers in the early years of the limited entry program. These efforts were summarized by Martin, in a contract report to CFEC.3 Martin said the commission understood the three standards in AS 16.43.290 to require the following:
The commission interpreted these standards as requiring independent determination of: (1) the economic optimum number of entry permits; and (2) the management optimum number of entry permits. The third criteria was to be utilized to adjust the economic and management optimum numbers as required by local employment conditions.
In 1994, the commission used similar reasoning and rationale to establish an optimum number for the Southeastern Alaska Roe Herring Purse Seine Fishery.4
Of course the real Optimum Number, can only confuse a S.E. Seine Association, a Commission, a Dept. of Law, and the usual, reading compromised, from Willamette University's most famous Law School Drop Out, boobyt and Associates

Yes, through an exhaustive multi-year study, the State found that Bristol Bay needed to have "800-1200 fewer permits", that range resulted from economic variables.

Question to the guys who are actually invested in this fishery:
ReplyDeleteWill your operation be worth more if the buyback passes or not?
It will.
Second, the Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act clarified that a permit holder relinquishes any future limited access system claims associated with the permit or vessel participating in a reduction program and that (if not scrapped) the vessel will be effectively prevented from fishing in Federal or state waters, or fishing on the high seas or in the waters of a foreign nation. The Magnuson-Stevens Reauthorization Act revised section 312(b)(2)(A) to recognize that the owner of a fishing vessel may be different from the permit holder. As a result of this change, NMFS is amending the regulations to require that, along with surrendering the permit authorizing the participation of the vessel in the fishery, for permanent revocation, both the vessel owner and the permit holder, if different from the vessel owner, relinquish any claim associated with the vessel or permit that could qualify such owner or permit holder for any present or future limited access system permit in the fishery for which the program is established or in any other fishery.

In the previous comments there is a great deal of retoric that presumes this plan is something that has not been vetted or is little understood by the s.e. seine fleet. First this option has been developed over a decade and was first suggested in 1984, it has had about as much scrutiny and massaging by industry and goverment (both State and Federal) as any action I have ever seen and will not be put into effect until the full final preposal will be presented and voted on by all permit holders. Since as it has been noted almost every fishery ended up with more permits fishing under limited entry than before it is only resonable to allow for the impacted fisheries to be allowed the opportunity to bring the numbers back to what most saw as the original level. While there are elements of this approach which I would liked to have been different in sum it is a good solution and since it is for more than next year, rather for the extended future it is something that I can and will support.

"Fundamentally at odds with 3rd grade reading"
SEINERS, know boobyt, and the Calhoune Street Depository, for SupposaTories!
In Grunert I, we stuck down former 5 AAC 15.359 (2002) because it was “fundamentally at odds with the Limited Entry Act.” 30 We explained that a central premise of the limited entry system is that permit holders are individuals who actively fish.31 We also explained that the Limited Entry Act was enacted to protect “economically dependent fisher[s].” 32 Our main concern with the cooperative regime created under former 5 AAC 15.359 was that it did not require “active participation” of all Chignik salmon purse seine permit holders.33 The Chignik cooperative fishery scheme was incompatible with the limited entry system “because it allow [ed] people who [were] not actually fishing to benefit from the fishery resource.” 34
Although the lack of an active participation requirement was the flaw on which we focused the most attention in Grunert I, we expressed concern with other aspects of the cooperative regime as well. For example, we expressed concern with the reduced number of crew members necessary under the cooperative regime.35 We noted that the cooperative regulation may interfere with the ability of the Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission (CFEC) to determine the optimum number of permits because the regulation “destroys any relation between the number of permits issued per fishery and the ultimate number of participating vessels and units of gear.” 36 And we criticized the corporate-like nature of the cooperative regime: “the cooperative regulation ․ transforms the limited entry permit from what used to be a personal gear license into a mere ownership share in a cooperative organization.” 37
We directed the board to seek legislative approval: “Before this regulatory scheme accomplishes such radical departure from the historical model of limited entry fisheries in Alaska and the spirit of the Limited Entry Act, ․ we conclude that the legislature must first authorize the board to approve cooperative salmon fisheries.” 38 We repeat that command here.
Alaska Statute 16.43.150(g) prohibits an entry permit from being “pledged, mortgaged, leased, or encumbered in any way” except as provided in certain subsections dealing with loans. The statute does not define “pledge.” Grunert argues that we should read “pledge” to mean “to promise solemnly or to put under obligation or commitment by or as if by a pledge.” The board responds that “pledge” is a legal term of art that refers to personal property transferred as security for a debt, engagement, or the performance of an act.
In Grunert I, we stuck down former 5 AAC 15.359 (2002) because it was “fundamentally at odds with the Limited Entry Act.”

Most recent CFEC statistics are 2010 and it shows 235 permits fished. How will buying back 67 permits help the remaining permit holders when already there are 144 that are inactive? It also shows the permit value at $87,400; sure glad I don't have to pay my share of a loan to buy them back at way more than double.
ReplyDeleteBut what do I know; I am just a picking loser. Back to billable work.
A few minor points here
ReplyDelete1. The 3 percent assessment will likely shrink in size and/or duration
The Feds have us at 20 cent humps and 25 cent dogs through 2020
If prices are higher (50 and 90 in 2011) then the term of loan will go down or , my favorite, the 3 goes down accordingly to 1.5-2-2.25 %
2. Seas insisted upon a flat bid amount
I personally know of several bidders who will use part of the overage above the 202000 average to backfill SEAS and other good causes to work together to make s01a stronger
3. There will be opportunities for new entrants and when they get in they will be in an economically relevant fishery
In 2002-2004 some of the biggest names in s01a were unable to seine in se
Our model should come the closest to total inclusion, where a skipper has options to fish for whomever he wants to
When we began Ralph Cole. Paul mattson Paul Troka. Erik jensen. David street. Amongst a hundred more-- couldnt get a market
4
4 the top 10% of the fleet grosses 25 % of the total
ReplyDeleteSo those guys will pay the lions share of the assessment
So this is not a regressive assessment
Take a season off pay zero
Catch a million dollars worth of fish pay 30000
(well your processor deducts before settlement so everyone on the boat - operator owner crew- pays
5 unlike the ifq assessment the processor pays
6. Been fine-tuned for a decade and except for the length of time it took and our disdain for being forced to Dona
Reverse auction this is the program we need for se
Maybe doesnt work for JT
Maybe not for vic smith or steve Taufen
But this is what seas sent me to do

2011 269 permits fished
ReplyDeleteIf we get to 311 then we have $10 million left at the lowest interest rates in the us history to close that gap

ReplyDeleteDidn't 1 fisherman named Grunert teach that lesson to a association, of seiners? validity by the minority.
Democracy or the Republic?
Alaska Statute 16.05.251(e) authorizes the board to allocate fishery resources “among personal use, sport, guided sport, and commercial fisheries.” We explained in Grunert I that “among” means “between,” not “within,” the fisheries.52 The board's authorizing statute defines “fishery” as “a specific administrative area in which a specific fishery resource is taken with a specific type of gear.” 53 That statute also defines “gear” and “type of gear” as follows:
Or was it super minority 15.1%, enacting a tax on an eskimo, to teach an eskimo what they taught Clarance Birdseye 100 years ag?

Stacking's Free, tax free, and 1876/2=optimum Number.
But you know Bristol Bay, where the brains are in the old plantati0n economy?
JUSTICE BLACKMUN, with whom JUSTICE BRENNAN and JUSTICE MARSHALL join, dissenting.
The harshness of these results is well demonstrated by the facts of this case. The salmon industry as described by this record takes us back to a kind of overt and institutionalized discrimination we have not dealt with in years: a total residential and work environment organized on principles of racial stratification and segregation, which, as JUSTICE STEVENS points out, resembles a plantation economy. Post at 664, n. 4. This industry long has been characterized by a taste for discrimination of the old-fashioned sort: a preference for hiring nonwhites to fill its lowest level positions, on the condition that they stay there. The majority's legal rulings essentially immunize these practices from attack under a Title VII disparate impact analysis.
Sadly, this comes as no surprise. One wonders whether the majority still believes that race discrimination -- or, more accurately, race discrimination against nonwhites -- is a problem in our society, or even remembers that it ever was. Cf. Richmond v. J. A. Croson Co., 488 U.S. 469 (1989)
Bobby,
ReplyDeleteHow many members of SEAS actually live in Alaska?
When you poll, are you polling Non-SEAS members? After all many, many seiners are not members BUT do have active permits.
When you poll, is there a third-party involved to facilitate the process so your data can be above reproach? Or do you just count the votes that share your opinion?
How come we always hear about the numbers but never see any concrete data?
Why not just lobby (your good at that) to have the state "retire" latent permits if not active for several years? That would cost us nothing and the State of Alaska would be cleaning up their own mess instead of putting it on the backs of the hard-working SE Alaskan seiners.
How can you be so sure seiners will not lose area to other fleets that are bigger in numbers?
Can you assure us that NO permits will be allowed back into the fishery? Would we not become too
"exclusive"? What is exclusive? Does it have a definition? Or is the definition fluid, like that of the "optimum number"?
If permits were allowed back in would we get some money back OR we repayment of the loan be forgiven?
Come on, people..lets have a real substantive discussion. After all it is just one of the state's biggest economic engines, employers and for some of us "real"
fishermen, our only source of income.
Like the federal question relating to the substantitive questions on procedural due process?
ReplyDeleteWho pulled this one off? waive bye, bye?
"The Federal statute authorizing this Program waives all of the fishing capacity reduction program requirements of the Magnuson-StevensAct (Sections 312(b)–(e)) codified at 16U.S.C. 1801
et seq.
except for Sections(b)(1)(C) and (d) which state: (1) It must be cost-effective; and (2) it is subject to a referendum approved by a majority of permit holders."
Covered all.
ReplyDeleteHB464, passed in 2006, Wilson R-Wrangell, allows the money from potential future permits to go to the loan we take out. 30 year term just like the loan.
SEAS is 45% of Active fishermen. Over 55% at times. Mostly locals but probably averages 67% resident.
Retaking of permits is not in our members best interests. You forget to renew as you are in False Pass and you lose your permit. You are the first one for that one. There is such a system. If 2 years go by without application. So far we've lost 2-3 permits since 1988. It'll take us 400 years to go this route
WE do the best we can to represent all interests but if you don't pay dues to SEAS then that's your problem if you feel like you are on the outside. Get it together, man, we are on the cusp of losing millions in allocated hatchery fish, major corridors. Without SEAS there would be no Icy Strait, no Noyes Island.
The polling is taken in by SEAS staff, in this case, Martin Lunde( his number is 206-915-1776) whom you are welcome to call to verify his methods.
SEAS polls on the buyback are well documented and you can find the other polls on www.seiners.net
This final poll was done at the request of the board to include only SEAS members. And it came in at 85%.
Or that's what Marty told me.
Maybe some pro-buyback scumbag has Marty in his or her pocket and marty is lying and hiding no votes.
But that would be odd, as our polling over the past 2 decades has run from a low of 77% to a high of 86% so 85% didn't seem to be an outlier.
While we have an independent CPA firm deal with the buyback mechanics, bids, etc., SEAS doesn't have the money to spend $3000 every time we do a simple poll
Guess if you'd join, and we jack dues up to $1000 then we could do that.
5 state bills had to be passed to address the concerns of working a FED funded buyback of a state waters fishery.
10 years, and at least a half million in Fed lobbying took place to get us here.
We've uncovered every rock, turned around and around on every path.
I have never seen a more thoroughly reviewed program in my time in fish politics.
Former SEAS Exec. Director and current ADFG Dep Commission and PSC Commissioner David Bedford began this for SEAS.. I came along after he'd be at it for over 2 years.
This is it. There will never be another. We've done everything possible to make it the best possible. WE lost a year and a half fighting to make this be a one number bid, not a reverse auction but NMFS would not let us go that route.
WE have had 10 years of discussion
Obviously you missed alot of it.

again, if any questions from actual permit holders, active or not, call at )(907)723-8267
as far as trollers or gillnetters taking over our turf, why?
ReplyDeletebecause they start liking pinks?
certainly not because we lack capacity.
just because we have twice as many guys out on the hookoffs now as we need keeps them at the door?
so when they see theres only one or 2 or 3 guys per hookoff they'll covet our corridors.?
WE just don't see it.
Worked through this thought from 1984 through 2001, when we went from wanting to have a buyback to working on one, after working through the concerns you lay out above.
Maybe you are an active seiner from wherever, but I can assure you that unless you have been active at SEAS that you couldn't possibly have known how much work and thought went into this program.
I personally would have shot this thing in the butt if I thought it would cost the seine fleet one single salmon.

"1. it must be cost effective."
ReplyDeleteSec. 16.43.150. Terms and conditions of entry permit; annual renewal.
(a) Except as may be otherwise provided under AS 16.43.270 (d), an entry permit authorizes the permittee to operate a unit of gear within a specified fishery.
(e) An entry permit constitutes a use privilege that may be modified or revoked by the legislature without compensation.
16.43.270
(d) The commission may restrict the fishing capacity employed under an entry permit if, before the initial issuance of entry permits for a fishery, the commission determines that the fishing capacity in the fishery must be limited to achieve the purposes of this chapter, establishes criteria for determining the fishing capacity that is allowed under an entry permit, and establishes how fishing capacity will be measured. The maximum fishing capacity allowed under an entry permit must be based upon past participation in the fishery by the initial recipient of the entry permit during a period, specified by the commission, preceding the qualification date established under AS 16.43.260. The commission may define fishing capacity in terms of quantity of fishing gear, a proportion of the maximum amount of gear that can be utilized in the fishery under regulations of the Board of Fisheries, fishing vessel size or other characteristics, or other factors determined by the commission to affect the amount of fishing effort in the fishery. The recipient or transferee of an entry permit issued subject to this subsection may not exceed the fishing capacity allowed under the entry permit."

The problem with too many people...
ReplyDeleteExplained Best at
State v. Ostrosky 1983
RABINOWITZ, Justice, dissenting.
I agree with the majority's suggestion that the conflict in constitutional provisions in this case is properly resolved by allowing the legislature to adopt a system of limited entry, but only through the means which are least restrictive upon other rights guaranteed in the constitution. Beyond the statement of this principle, however, I cannot agree with the application given the less restrictive alternative test to the "free transferability" system implemented by AS 16.43.170(b) and 16.43.150(h).
Free transferability impairs rights guaranteed by three separate clauses of the Alaska Constitution. The "common use" clause in Article VIII, section 3 provides:
Wherever occurring in their natural state, fish, wildlife, and waters are reserved to the people for common use.
I further disagree with the majority's discussion of the state's interest in the goals furthered by AS 16.43.170(b) and 16.43.150(h). The court's opinion appears to dismiss the importance of the overall objectives of the limited entry statute to the equal protection scrutiny of transferability
[ 667 P.2d 1198 ]
provisions. It is true that specific sections within a complex statute will be designed to serve narrow purposes subsidiary to the statute's larger goals. It is also true that these narrow purposes may properly be asserted by the state in attempting to meet its burden under the state equal protection clause. The legitimacy of these subsidiary purposes, however, is seriously undermined if they are found to conflict with the greater goals of the statutory scheme as a whole.
Under AS 16.43.010, the legislature has declared that "[i]t is the purpose of this chapter to promote the conservation and the sustained yield management of Alaska's fishery resource and the economic health and stability of commercial fishing in Alaska by regulating and controlling entry into the commercial fisheries in the public interest and without unjust discrimination." This statement of legislative intent does more than provide that one goal of the Limited Entry Act is to comport with the constitution. Decisions of this court have made it clear that the statute's policy of avoiding unjust discrimination extends further than to classifications forbidden by the constitution. Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission v. Apokedak,606 P.2d 1255, 1268 (Alaska 1980).
In evaluating the strength of the state's interest in the goals behind the system of free transferability, it is incumbent upon this court to weigh the Ostroskys' argument that the legislatively-created "free market" for gear licenses discriminates on the basis of wealth. I would hold that the broad statutory anti-discrimination purpose of the Limited Entry Act militates against any system of transferability which makes gear licenses available only to the extremely wealthy. Certainly the state's interest in the current transferability provisions is diminished by the provisions' tendency to create such a classification.
What are you trying to say? I don't understand any of what you are posting, and I'm guessing everybody else is thinking the same thing. 66 posts and half are nothing but nonsense and state statutes that are at best loosely related to the buyback. Legal opinion from 1983? Are you advocating we disband limited entry, ifqs and the whole show?
ReplyDeleteIf you want to contribute, please take it easy on the control-c and say something real.
$200k for a permit is going to look cheap in a few years.
JT is from a longtime Lummi island drifter clan who has fished the Bay forever
ReplyDeleteHe feels discrimination from Alaska
He thinks we are all morons
He seems to come out against limited entry
But what really frosts his butt is that the most obvious place in need of re-limiting limited entry is the Bay
So he sees us 99.9% of the way through a decade long - far from perfect program that took dozens of rewrites of federal law and 4 or so bills to revise state statutes to accomplish this-- on top of a queer reverse auction that got stuffed down our throats-- and he just cannot and will not allow us to get our fleet consideration done before it is done in the bay
He's a sharp dude though but he's felt the sting of anti- Alaskan near 'racism' and he wants to let us know that this shall not stand. This is not fair that se could get a buyback before the bay
Especially a bunch of backwater losers like us from Sitka Petersburg Ketchikan and Juneau
He recognizes that a Seattle attorney helped alot --- and that seattle attorney runs his Bay pool.
So he's conflicted there too.
Why not the Bay JT

ReplyDeleteBobbyt, problem is there's going to be a windshift, and it'll be in your face.
ReplyDeleteReduction is a needed action, but the State is the responsible party, not the Feds or the fishermen.
Surplus oil taxes need to be directed to buyback the overissued permits.
The State will eventually reissue permits, through intense political pressure, while remaining permit holders are still paying off the Fed buybsck loan. Sounds great if you sold yours at buyback time.
Limited entry act was 38 years ago. How many more years before you think the state will fulfill it's "responsibility" to reduce permits?

Marbury v. Madison, 1803???
Could it be the intention of those who gave this power to say that, in using it, the Constitution should not be looked into? That a case arising under the Constitution should be decided without examining the instrument under which it arises?
This is too extravagant to be maintained.
In some cases then, the Constitution must be looked into by the judges. And if they can open it at all, what part of it are they forbidden to read or to obey?
There are many other parts of the Constitution which serve to illustrate this subject.
It is declared that "no tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State." Suppose a duty on the export of cotton, of tobacco, or of flour, and a suit instituted to recover it. Ought judgment to be rendered in such a case? ought the judges to close their eyes on the Constitution, and only see the law?
The oath of office, too, imposed by the Legislature, is completely demonstrative of the legislative opinion on this subject. It is in these words:
I do solemnly swear that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich; and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge all the duties incumbent on me as according to the best of my abilities and understanding, agreeably to the Constitution and laws of the United States.
Why does a judge swear to discharge his duties agreeably to the Constitution of the United States if that Constitution forms no rule for his government? if it is closed upon him and cannot be inspected by him?
If such be the real state of things, this is worse than solemn mockery. To prescribe or to take this oath becomes equally a crime.
It is also not entirely unworthy of observation that, in declaring what shall be the supreme law of the land, the Constitution itself is first mentioned, and not the laws of the United States generally, but those only which >SHALL< (emphasis added) be made in pursuance of the Constitution, have that rank.
Thus, the particular phraseology of the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written Constitutions, that a law repugnant to the Constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument."
The rule must be discharged."

Parochial paranoia still seems to be tightening the loop on Bobby T who has to mention my name - o.k. I will weigh in:
ReplyDeleteThe original proposal to members of Congress was for a buyback program for seiners all over Alaska, then someone in Stevens, Young's or Murkowski's office added the peculiar little words 'Southeast Alaska' to limit the program and its vast funds strictly to Bobby T's controlled corner of the Petersburg parrish.
That leaves a huge question - was it really the 'spirit and intent' of Congress to fund that limited program so that the average buyout could be in the quarter-of-a-million dollar range? When was it slipped into the legislation? It would be just like Don Young's crooked staff back then (best friends of Abramoff et al) to have done it after engrossed bill was already in situ - as Young did for another bill, illegally. Or did Stevens' office do it, and teach Don and Bobby the trick of that crime?

Okay,
ReplyDeleteNow I'm starting to understand the argument. It goes like this:
1. The bay needs a buyback more than the seiners.
2. Therefore, it's the state's responsibility to eliminate limited entry, and fund a bay buyback with oil taxes.
3. We know this to be true because Abe Lincoln said it to Tecumsah in the 1800s.
4. That opinion was verified by Martin Luther and the contemporary church.
5. Further evidence lies in a series of coded messages buried in the State Statutes and the constitution quoted in the comments section of this blog.

1. The State creates Limited Entry.
2. The state issues too many permits.
3. The fishermen become financially distressed.
4. The State formally studies and answers the problem. Conclusion: too many permits.
5. The State assumes no responsibility.
6. The State orchestrates a fishermen financed buyback program.
7. The State walks away unscathed.
8. The financially strapped fishermen pay on a loan for 30 years (or more).
It's all becoming so clear to me now.
The State did not orchestrate the buyback, it is FEDERAL.
ReplyDeleteAhem.
ReplyDeleteDo you understand what orchestrate means?
It means guiding it through necessary legislation to allow the Federally funded loan to come to potential fruition.
Next question?
Actually, the legislators were asked to complete a "housekeeping procedure" to allow the federal government to have the information (fish tickets) necessary to facilitate repayment of the loan.
ReplyDeleteWithout the state okaying this the feds would have not gone along with it.
The rules and the procedures were put in place by the feds, fishing organizations, lobbyists and some fishermen.
Now we are getting somewhere

ReplyDeleteAlthough I miss the context most often
Must be the Lummi Island tradition I'm missin
Taufen- it was always SE
If there was a transmittal error it was the initiating statewide language that was in error
And this was to be a big $53 million program paid by grants etc
Now we have a fishermen financed program- albeit with help from grant monies in round 1 that took out 36 permits in 2008
It's a good program, unless you are an old school processor
Less fishermen- higher prices- less boats for processors to carry
I believe by now that most processors understood this need for some kind of parity and that working with us and abandoning the plantation model will be best for all concerned
Anyways

ReplyDeleteYou really did flunk out at Willamette Law.
http://supreme.justia.com/us/40/518/case.html
Let me get this straight. Bobbyt thinks that since he went to Uncle Ted, Ben and Trevor McCabe to get a federal buyback for a state limited entry permit that everyone is suppose to except that is normal procedure.
ReplyDeleteBe real Bobbyt! Now you want to pull your second permit and the one you bought for your wife out of the buyback so you can call it legitimate? Huh?
There is no reason for the federal gov't to put out one thin dime of our tax dollars for anything to do with a state permitted fishery.
Bobbyt as far as I am concerned anything you've done or will ever do should be questioned for being illegal or through back channels of gov't. Just look at Alaska Fisheries Marketing Board and the money that was handed over to the processor or cronies as a kick back. Even Ben received money back from the North Pacific Crab Association; bribe, kick back, consulting fees what ever you want to call it, it was illegal and corrupt.
I still smell the stench coming from the Calhoun Street Building in Juneau and it extends to Shoreline, WA.
I have a question, do you even get a dividend Bobbyt? Or do spend enough time in Alaska to be a resident?
I like that JT Granger lets the law speak for itself. Though it is kind of long and time consuming to read it states loud and clear there is no wiggle room for a federal buy back of permits. And why should other fishermen that are involved in a fishery have to pay more to buy others that have never even used the permit and bought it purely for for speculation of a buyback. Bobbyt do you even fish SE salmon any more.
The real fishermen are standing up now, and you should just sit down and ......

ReplyDeleteThe Plantation Model? thats used in Bristol Bay "5 AAC 06.333" oh yes Vince Webster, and the retired new Chairman Shit for Brains Johnson.
Just let those set's have it all,
5 AAC 06.331, way down younder in the land of Webster.
You know the one, that Citizenship Clause, 1789, for 3/5ths of a VOTE, from S.E. Alaska, and S.E. America, the South Carolina Special.
The Plantation model exists, your just confused where its legally upheld by the State, against every FEDERAL, STATE,. and LOCAL Civil Rights Legislation and the 14th Amendment of 1868?
You know the one, the Board of Confederate Fish, Parnell, and Palin.
That's D, the Bristol Bay DIXIE permit holder, but it's even better that the 3/5ths Clause, it's the 1/3rd Clause, totally illegal in 50 States of the Union
That's of course the plantation, or do you have a 1/3rd of a S.E. Seine permit system like way up younder in the land it factually applied?
I suppose 18 USC 241, and 242 also confuse our Dixie Queens in Juneau today.
Hey BT, have you ever thought that JT might be your cousin? You know which one I'm talking about?
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the big deal is we have a chance to get some permits out of our way. Permits that are owned by some of the bigger players in the fishery who as we all know could bank roll Boats and get those Permits fishing agin which will be what happens if this thing falls through. The real money is with the Boat and Gear The Permit is a small part of what it takes to Seine in AK. I vote buy as many Permits back as possible
ReplyDeleteI suppose that explains the Magnusen Act buybacks "SPECIAL" Exemptions.
ReplyDeleteWhen Wally Hickel wrote;
"Who Owns America"
It never said SEAS owns the North Pacific Coouncil,

The Commercial Fisheries Entry Commission, and the legislature in Juneau and Washington too?
When the former President, the Senator from Massachuettes John Quincy Adams argued the Amistad Case, Pro Bono, for 8 hours, in fromt of Plantation owner Chief Justice Taney, the judge from Massachuettes Joseph Story pretty much had a gag, on the Chief.
The Amistad's Skipper, Ferrer & Son, also had an interesting concept of exemption of the laws from Spain and the United States.
"The negroes were never the lawful slaves of Ruiz or Montez, or of any other Spanish subject. They are natives of Africa, and were kidnapped there, and were unlawfully transported to Cuba in violation of the laws and treaties of Spain, and of the most solemn edicts and declarations of that government.
By the laws, treaties, and edicts of Spain, the African slave trade is utterly abolished, the dealing in that trade is deemed a heinous crime, and the negroes thereby introduced into the dominions of Spain are declared to be free.
There is no pretence to say the negroes of the Amistad are "pirates" and " robbers," as they were kidnapped Africans who, by the laws of Spain itself, were entitled to their freedom.
Although public documents of the government accompanying property found on board of the private ships of a foreign nation are to be deemed prima facie evidence of the facts which they state, yet they are always open to be impugned for fraud, and, whether that fraud be in the original obtaining of those documents or in the subsequent fraudulent and illegal use of them, where once it is satisfactorily established, it overthrows all their sanctity and destroys them as proof.
Fraud will vitiate any, even the most solemn, transactions, and any asserted title founded upon it is utterly void...."
That Skipper was not delt with by the Spanish Flag, He was delt with by his illegal illegal cargo. Had Spanish Admirality got ahold of him, he would have Hung from the Yardarm of a Spanish Corvette, Exactly like Bligh Mutineers, in Lord Admiral Hood's Court, remember that mountain a little east of Willamette Law School?

"The word "possession" denotes such a group of facts. Hence, when we say of a man that he has possession, we affirm directly that all the facts of a certain group are true of him, and we convey indirectly or by implication that the law will give him the advantage of the situation. Contract, or property, or any other substantive notion of the law, may be analyzed in the same way, and should be treated in the same order. The only difference is, that, [215] while possession denotes the facts and connotes the consequence, property always, and contract with more uncertainty and oscillation, denote the consequence and connote the facts. When we say that a man owns a thing, we affirm directly that he has the benefit of the consequences attached to a certain group of facts, and, by implication, that the facts are true of him. The important thing to grasp is, that each of these legal compounds, possession, property, and contract, is to be analyzed into fact and right, antecedent and consequent, in like manner as every other. It is wholly immaterial that one element is accented by one word, and the other by the other two. We are not studying etymology, but law. There are always two things to be asked: first, what are the facts which make up the group in question; and then, what are the consequences attached by the law to that group. The former generally offers the only difficulties...But, besides our power and intent as towards our fellow-men, there must be a certain degree of power over the object. If there were only one other man in the world, and he was safe under lock and key in jail, the person having the key would not possess the swallows that flew over the prison. This element is illustrated by cases of capture, [217] although no doubt the point at which the line is drawn is affected by consideration of the degree of power obtained as against other people, as well as by that which has been gained over the object. The Roman and the common law agree that, in general, fresh pursuit of wild animals does not give the pursuer the rights of possession. Until escape has been made impossible by some means, another may step in and kill or catch and carry off the game if he can. Thus it has been held that an action does not lie against a person for killing and taking a fox which had been pursued by another, and was then actually in the view of the person who had originally found, started, and chased it. /1/ The Court of Queen's Bench even went so far as to decide, notwithstanding a verdict the other way, that when fish were nearly surrounded by a seine, with an opening of seven fathoms between the ends, at which point boats were stationed to frighten them from escaping, they were not reduced to possession as against a stranger who rowed in through the opening and helped himself. /2/ But the difference between the power over the object which is sufficient for possession, and that which is not, is clearly one of degree only, and the line may be drawn at different places at different times on grounds just referred to. Thus we are told that the legislature of New York enacted, in 1844, that any one who started and pursued deer in certain counties of that State should be deemed in possession of the game so long as he continued in fresh pursuit of it, and to that extent modified the New York decisions just cited. So, while Justinian decided that a wild beast so badly wounded that it might easily be taken must be actually taken before it belongs to the captors, Judge Lowell, with equal reason, has upheld the contrary custom of the American whalemen in the Arctic Ocean, mentioned above, which gives a whale to the vessel whose iron first remains in it, provided claim be made before cutting in..."

ReplyDeleteIt's ANCIENT Chapter 1?
http://www.constitution.org/cmt/owh/commonlaw.htm
"...A ship is the most living of inanimate things. Servants sometimes say "she" of a clock, but every one gives a gender to vessels. And we need not be surprised, therefore, to find a mode of dealing which has shown such extraordinary vitality in the criminal law applied with even more striking thoroughness in the Admiralty...
But, again, suppose that the vessel, instead of being under lease, is in charge of a pilot whose employment is made compulsory by the laws of the port which she is just entering. The Supreme Court of the United States holds the ship liable in this instance also. The English courts would probably have decided otherwise, and the matter is settled in England by legislation. But there the court of appeal, the Privy Council, has been largely composed of common-law lawyers, and it has shown a marked tendency to assimilate common-law doctrine. At common law one who could not impose a personal liability on the owner could not bind a particular chattel to answer for a wrong of which it had been the instrument. But our Supreme Court has long recognized that a person may bind a ship, when he could not bind the owners personally, because he was not the agent.
It may be admitted that, if this doctrine were not supported by an appearance of good sense, it would not have survived. The ship is the only security available in dealing with foreigners, and rather than send one's own citizens to search for a remedy abroad in strange courts, it is easy to seize the vessel and satisfy the claim at home, leaving the foreign owners to get their indemnity as they may be able. I dare say some such thought has helped to keep the practice alive, but I believe the true historic foundation is elsewhere. The ship no doubt, like a sword would have been forfeited for causing death, in whosesoever hands it might have been. So, if the master and mariners of a ship, furnished with letters of reprisal, committed piracy against a friend of the king, the owner lost his ship by the admiralty law, although the crime was committed without his knowledge or assent. It seems most likely that the principle by which the ship was forfeited to the king for causing death, or for piracy, was the same as that by which it was bound to private sufferers for other damage, in whose hands soever it might have been when it did the harm.
If we should say to an uneducated man today, "She did it and she ought to pay for it," it may be doubted whether he would see the fallacy, or be ready to explain that the ship was only property, and that to say, "The ship has to pay for it," was simply a dramatic way of saying that somebody's property was to be sold, and the proceeds applied to pay for a wrong committed by somebody else.
It would seem that a similar form of words has been enough to satisfy the minds of great lawyers. The following is a passage from a judgment by Chief Justice Marshall, which is quoted with approval by Judge Story in giving the opinion of the Supreme Court of the United States: "This is not a proceeding against the owner; it is a proceeding against the vessel for an offence committed by the vessel; which is not the less an offence, and does not the less subject her to forfeiture, because it was committed without the authority and against the will of the owner. It is true that inanimate matter can commit no offence. But this body is animated and put in action by the crew, who are guided by the master. The vessel acts and speaks by the master. She reports herself by the master. It is, therefore, not unreasonable that the vessel should be affected by this report." And again Judge Story quotes from another case: "The thing is here primarily considered as the offender, or rather the offence is primarily attached to the thing."
"...The Amiable Nancy. In upholding an award of compensatory damages, Justice Story observed that,
ReplyDelete“if this were a suit against the original wrong-doers, it might be proper to … visit upon them in the shape of exemplary damages, the proper punishment which belongs to such lawless misconduct. But it is to be considered, that this is a suit against the owners of the privateer, upon whom the law has, from motives of policy, devolved a responsibility for the conduct of the officers and crew employed by them, and yet, from the nature of the service, they can scarcely ever be able to secure to themselves an adequate indemnity in cases of loss. They are innocent of the demerit of this transaction, having neither directed it, nor countenanced it, nor participated in it in the slightest degree. Under such circumstances, we are of opinion, that they are bound to repair all the real injuries and personal wrongs sustained by the libellants, but they are not bound to the extent of vindictive damages.” The Amiable Nancy, supra, at 558–559 (emphasis in original).
Exxon takes this statement as a rule barring punitive liability against shipowners for actions by underlings not “directed,” “countenanced,” or “participated in” by the owners...

ReplyDelete"when they entered into your hindred..."
Joe Juneau's Kommissioners, who need to read their own Optimum Number Studies?
In May, 1985 the commission received an Alaska Attorney General’s opinion that the
buyback portion of the law was unconstitutional as written, chiefly because it required an
unconstitutional dedicated fund. This event led the commission to re-examine the issue of
buyback and to develop suggestions for revising the law so the constitutional concerns could
be addressed and better investment options would be provided for fishermen.
In 1988, the Alaska Supreme Court decision in Johns further dampened the outlook for fleet
reductions. In their decision, the Supreme Court pointed to tensions between the limited
entry clause in Alaska’s constitution and the constitutional clauses which reserve fisheries for
the common use of all of the people. The Court declared:
[T]here is a tension between the limited entry clause of the state constitution
and the clauses of the constitution which guarantee open fisheries. We
suggested that to be constitutional, a limited entry system should impinge as
little as possible on the open fishery clauses consistent with the constitutional
purposes of limited entry, namely, prevention of distress to fishermen and
resource conservation. Ostrosky. 667 P.2d at 1191. The optimum number
provision of the Limited Entry Act is the mechanism by which limited entry is
meant to be restricted to its constitutional purposes. Without this mechanism,
limited entry has the potential to be a system which has the effect of creating
an exclusive fishery to ensure the wealth of the permit holders and permit
values, while exceeding the constitutional purposes of limited entry.
The Johns decision has substantially impacted thinking about fleet reductions under Alaska’s
limited entry program. In the decision, the Court warns that limiting the number of
participants in a fishery to a given level is only constitutional if that level of exclusiveness is
needed for resource conservation reasons or to prevent economic distress in a fishery.
If neither of these constitutional purposes is satisfied, then the commission is supposed to use
the law’s optimum number provision to increase the number of permits in the fishery.
Moreover, the Court appears to be saying that a loss in permit value due to the issuance of
additional permits does not qualify as economic distress to existing permit holders, even
though many of these permit holders may have purchased their permit at fair market value.
Under Johns, optimum numbers are seen as the only adjustment mechanism under AS 16.43
to prevent the program from becoming unconstitutional...

Come clean and put some who know what was done, who did it, how criminal it was etc. up against the dock piling by the collar, until they come clean. Otherwise, you'll just prattle on... and on...
