Re: RE: Over reacting or just
Sorry if I was unclear but by small scale and local pub/bar I meant a situation where they wouldn't need to go through a LOT of fish per month(town of 10 000 kinda thing)... something closer to a decent amount of pocket change as opposed to actually making a living, if that makes sense :?

That's the reviewer you're talking about, not the author. How many statements do you want?
How about another review of the same book by another independent scholar:
Book review
Or this essay by Charles Kendrick Cowdery:
Essay
Or Meriwether Lewis' description, of the famous Lewis and Clark Expedition, from which it's clear there was a lot of wastage:
Lewis
Or you could read chapter 4 of Jared Diamond's latest book, Collapse, on how the Anasazi self-destructed. They suffered some climate change, but hastened their own end by having no real understanding of the environment they were living in.
Thanks for the additional links, Dex. I'll have a read of them this evening when I get a chance and check out Collapse if the library has a copy.
RE: Over reacting or just
Just go to Yale BC where the Canyon starts/ends when the sockeye run and see what goes on for your self.
I know its not a majority but it is a large scale by a few. They do do the odd bust at a warehouse storing illegal salmon. But some bands are also quite militant and do what they want when they want. Go to the valley in Summer and it is not hard to buy $5 sockeye or any of the 5 species of salmon.
Something has to be done and a descent deal made for commercial, native and sportsfisherman so we can all have our share and leave enough to spawn, before salmon are totally wiped out.
All user groups have their poachers, but with the media bias and that conservative MP Cummins from Delta yapping on tv blaming only natives, make people believe it is just Natives doing it. But I fish that river and I see non native people poaching and taking more than their 2 sockeyes a day and no CO's around.
I just think busting Natives on the river makes for better TV than busting anyone elese. The media plays right into busting "illegal fishing by natives" and therefore gives the perception it is only the natives poaching, when that is not the case.
But it is politically incorrect to point out natives are screwing up but it is ok to blame non native fisherman for problems.
This world has gone stark raving mad if you ask me. I wish we could all get along.
