The commercial fishery on the Fraser is a real problem, I think that artical makes a case for this problem all up and down the coast, and how political interference causes enormous damage to our fishery

It's gonna take a huge effort from the international community to get the Canadian Govt' to see things differently.  After decades of gravel extraction in the vedder and Fraser, commercial in the Fraser, Tribes in the Fraser, commercial in the mouth of the Skeena, and net pens, weening the beurocrats off the $$ may be impossible.
