I just finished up another letter to the Minister asking for the results of the closures on the number of spawners making it through. Clearly if the are actually using science, they must be collecting data to justify their theory. One of the key principles of a scientific approach is to formulate a theory and collect data in order to defend that theory, or discount it. If that’s not happening then the whole exercise is just BS.
I also questioned how catching hatchery fish was supposed to impact the Fraser run. I suggested it has far more to do with ease of enforcement than it does in protecting the run. Keep more boots on the ground in Ottawa Offices! Makes you wonder if maybe just getting out there, or catch and release fishing will remove the self serving incentive DFO gets from closure?
