(University of Oregon School of Law, 2008) Fisher, William
During the last thirty
years, the State of Washington has been involved in extensive
litigation with Indian tribes (with the United States acting as
trustee for the tribes) regarding fishing rights and the quality of fish runs throughout the Northwest. While much of this
litigation regards tribal fishing rights in the face of state fishing
regulations, few cases have specifically touched on a state's duty
to protect fish runs and fish habitat.
