From the transcript
Um, a coho stock of concern is unprecedented in the state. This will be the first, and, um, especially on the Little Sioux, those numbers have to add up to make sure that this is justified to do this in this place for the first time, because it's a political wedge from the E.Z. Through the Northern District right up into the sport fishery. And so I just, I support it, but the numbers have got to justify it, and I, I believe they probably do.
