Seems reasonable to me.

Maybe a couple riggers in the water aren't such a big deal after all...

Seems one branch of government knows the whales are migratory and not always here Guess that’s what happens when you actually spend time on the water!

Yes but remember groups like Watershed and other members of MCC aren't interested in anyone fishing for salmon. These zones were carved out for political reasons.

My thoughts are this will open a challenge for the department. Pender Island guys should start screaming in my opinion.
