I know it is not the Chehalis but it is last call to comment on the CR 102 Supplemental for Willapa. It is Grays Harbor on steroids as to mismanagement. Over 82% of the harvest will go to the commercials, nearly 9% of the TOTAL Chum run will be moralities tossed over the side and we are talking the total run not harvestable numbers. Pretty much more of the same. What is not normal is the reaction of the local community in objecting to and taking on the agency. Had a full room at the Monte hearing ( such as it was ) on the CR 102 and they are learning they do not have to take it.
