Re: Let's prioritize wild Alaska salmon

After reading Heather Hardcastle's letter on the Tongass, I have a question for her. She wants all activities out of the Tongass and the fishermen will receive all the benefits of this. Limited entry was started in the mid 70s because there was not many fish.

I wonder now that there are lots of fish and she does not want anyone to work in the woods, should limited entry be abolished so people can at least fish.   Afterall, what makes fishermen any more important than anybody else?
