Sturgeon aren't closed, retention is set at 0. This doesn't mean it is illegal to specifically target them.
With Alberta's management and fishing opportunities, we are limited in comparison to neighboring provinces and their fishing opportunities. Taking away another Albertan opportunity based on emotions alone, is ludicrous.
The program is working at increasing the number of Sturgeon in Alberta waters, in addition to drawing more anglers. Both are necessary for the future of fishing in Alberta.
