This is a tough one for me. I\u2019ve wrestled with these questions I\u2019m going to present for weeks and months now, and I still can\u2019t find an explanation for both sides of the story.<\/p>\n

So, let me lay out what I do know\u2026<\/p>\n

For whatever reasons Kenai River Sportfishing Association wanted Vince Webster off of the Board of Fish, but the reasons they gave to legislators don\u2019t hold water. Here is the list of reasons, as emailed from KRSA. My questions are entered in italics\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2022 He directly participated in precariously and unnecessarily lowering the escapement goal of Kenai River king salmon during a time of record low abundance and uncertain future production. This was a unanimous Board decision, based on a recommendation from the Alaska Department of Fish & Game.<\/p>\n

\u2022 As an experienced member on the BOF, Mr. Webster was tasked to co-chair a Cook Inlet king salmon task force. Its mission was essentially to identify the best mix of fishing opportunity during times of low king salmon abundance and the best means of attaining the escapement goal. Unfortunately, the final work product of the task force failed. The process he was tasked to oversee ended in deadlock. This was also true of Tom Kluberton.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The failure of the task force rests in large part with Mr. Webster. A canceled December meeting wasted valuable time that could have been used to address ADFG processes to establish escapement goals. Subsequent meetings offered no forward progress and squandered valuable time, resources and energy of participants. This was also true of Tom Kluberton.<\/p>\n
