Re: The Collapse of the Gulf of Mexico Grouper Fishery

Catch shares only concentrate the profits , they have nothing to do with the health of a fishery.Fisheries are best managed with spawning closures and TAC adjustments. Thankfully the commercial guys here on the Atlantic side are mostly not stupid enough to buy that catch shares line. There are fewer boats actually fishing on this side as well, hard to find anyone under 40 with a work ethic.
