After all, there has been woefully little reaction from Ottawa over an issue that could inflict serious damage on an already fragile resource. Alaskan fishermen might continue to fill the holds of their fish- boats with made-in-Canada salmon but at least they'll know we don't like it. In the absence of federal action, Clark has attempted to draw atten tion to the grossly unfair practices of American fishing interests, but without much luck. Clark's plans to cancel the U.S. seabed lease on the Nanoose Bay missile testing site is good news for those Gulf Islanders who have long opposed the facility but bad news for those Canadians who will lose jobs if the base is closed. Those, however, are not the only jobs at stake. Reliable incomes in the fishing industry are becoming as elusive as full nets. A sign of the frustration was the weekend blockade of an Alaskan ferry in Prince Rupert by 250 Canadian fishboats. Fortunately, the incident ended peacefully once the fishermen felt they'd made their point about Alaskan fishermen scooping up almost 380,000 more fish in the past two weeks than they are entitled to under the Pacific Salmon Treaty. But are these appropriate tactics to take in a dispute between two neighbouring nations with strong trading, cultural and other ties? We don't think so. But in the absence of concrete action by the federal government, provincial reaction has been almost predictable. The most important aspect of this issue is conservation. The warn ing bells have been sounding for a long time that effective manage ment of the salmon fishery is crucial to its future. But conservation in Canada does little good if any fish unlucky enough to swim a little further north or a bit further south is scooped into a U.S. boat. Given the nature of the coast and the resource, both countries must work together to ensure enough fish spawn to preserve the fishery into the 'Enemy of BC Greenpeace is future.
