The Alaska Board of Fisheries decision to allow unrestricted harvest of razors on the west side of Cook Inlet is premature and  illogical. 

Environmental impacts are always going to exist and are beyond our control, however, managers can control the number of Razor Clams taken from the beach, as they should, if they know how many they have to start with. They don't.
 
Unlimited harvest from the West Side beaches will result in the same fate as the East Side. No more shellfish fishery.

Don't put the cart before the horse. Get the population estimates first, then set harvest limits.
