(3) The following is the selection process the department will use to offer a salmon beach seine experimental permit.

The pool established by this drawing will be maintained to replace any permit(s) which may be voided.
(4) Permit holders are required to participate in the salmon beach seine experimental fishery.
(a) For purposes of this section, "participation" means the holder of the salmon beach seine experimental permit being aboard the designated vessel in the open fishery.
(b) If the salmon beach seine experimental permit holder fails to participate, the salmon beach seine experimental permit issued to that fisher will be void and a new salmon beach seine experimental permit will be issued through a random drawing from the applicant pool ((established in 2002)).
(c) The department may require proof of participation by maintaining a department approved log book or registering with state officials each day the salmon beach seine experimental permit holder participates.
(d) Persons who participate, but violate conditions of a salmon beach seine experimental permit, will have the permit voided and a new salmon beach seine experimental permit will be reissued through a random drawing from the pool of the voided permit holder.
(5) In Quilcene Bay, chum salmon may not be retained by a salmon beach seine experimental permit holder. Chum salmon in Quilcene Bay must be released alive.
(6) Any person who fails to purchase the license, fails to participate, or violates the conditions of a salmon beach seine experimental permit will have his or her name permanently withdrawn from the pools.
(7) It is unlawful to take salmon with beach seine gear that does not meet the requirements of this subsection.
(a) Beach seine salmon nets in Puget Sound shall not exceed 600 feet in length or 100 meshes in depth, or contain meshes of a size less than 3 inches or greater than 4 inches.
