Seiners negotiating with Obama administration terrorists. What a joke. The state should never ever ever permanently close shoreline nor should a fleet of 30%tlingit and Haida seiners delay fishing and close fishing just to shut up a few creek robbing Angoon folks
Drop my membership in SEAS. This is about selling out our fishing rights so that someone can look good. Who the hell did this. We gave no one the authority to give up our traditional seining grounds
A constitution or a treaty based on a constitutional right gives one a right, a permit gives one a privilege. Hillbilly of the sea. Ballard must be a frightening place for you.
triditional to me means 10000 years of use and occupation!your mention of triditional means rape and plunder!!!i really think seas is better off without people like you!good bye.
