i agree that closing areas of 4B is a bad idea, but i am cautious about trusting wdfw science. we have seen their "science" lead us into the diminished fisheries we now have.

i did testify against closures in 4B, but the hair raises on the back of my neck when i hear wdfw declare a fishery "healthy." i actually changed my original testimony after hearing wdfw's presentation and that "healthy" word used too often.
