So, I think the RSDA is attacking this from numerous angles. In fact the entire point of this new study is to show lower 48 Senators and Congressmen & the EPA, how important the fishery is in communities beyond Alaska. <br />A profitable fishery is a gold mine in and of itself, we don't need another one upstream. Get off the RSDA's back, or better yet, explain what other organization is capable of representing the fishermen to this extent?<br />While I don't always agree with everything they have done, I think the same can be said for all of us...so relax.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-51223132875394192232013-05-09T11:03:51.417-08:002013-05-09T11:03:51.417-08:00Hey 9:08 AM, are you serious?

The RSDA will only research the feasibility if permit holders approve it. Regarding quality improvements, that is a must if we want to compete with other sources of protein.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-72020443824586902812013-05-09T09:08:47.980-08:002013-05-09T09:08:47.980-08:00I vote to use my 1% to hire lobbyists and attorne...I vote to use my 1% to hire lobbyists and attorneys to attack Pebble, but unfortunately BBRSDA is only concerned with increasing the value to fisherman via quality improvements, buy-backs, etc. Raising quality is a valiant effort and benefit to all fishing families, but if Pebble plays dirty (like we know they will) and there are no fish to increase the quality of, then what? Seems to me a re-evaluation of the BBRSDA mission statement is in order. This is western Alaska's Black Swan; goals need to be adjusted.
