You will find most caiincrymen
favor “closing the spawning
k iound's.” They say “give the fish
a chance to go up the stream.” Do
you believe in fair play? Then we
nsk you, why place the full burden
of conservation on the seiners? Our
fishing grounds are the calm waters
the bays and inlets. We cannot
fish in the open watery of the straits,
Lig channels or open waters facing
the ocean.
Whenever a large bay is closed,
we. tlie resident fishermen of Alas
ka are shut out completely. We can
not move just outside the dead line
1;ke the trap can (‘see Tenekce In
let for example). We are done com
fit tely.
That is why the Hydaburg Natives
had the following resolution intro
duced protesting dead line at Hetta
inmt which shuts down over twelve
m:les of our fishing grounds.
