The 6 CDQ groups could very well have paid for this study by donating $67,000 each - I'm sure they could have canned a lame worker who has been getting a big salary just for taking up office space. Besides that, who is to say that the pollock fishery won't eventually crash from all the pressure put on it to provide cheap fish for the world market.<br /><br />On the other hand, the state is committing 20 million for various salmon projects - Sustainable Salmon; Salmon Recovery; and Salmon Treaty. It's about time.<br /><br />Maybe those millions will be more productive than those Salmon Initiative millions of the 1990's and what is presently being spent to study salmon on the Y-K system from the Federal government. All those tens of millions spent and it's the same old, same old especially here in the Norton Sound. 5.4 million dollars in the Norton Sound Salmon Initiative of the 1990's and where are the reports for the people?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9188370370448778552.post-71012242897323541592011-07-08T18:41:36.529-08:002011-07-08T18:41:36.529-08:00I don't give a shit what commerce "says&q...I don't give a shit what commerce "says".
