Signage for transition workshop for the Pacific Trawl Groundfish IFQ catch share program.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

More than 150 groundfish trawl fishermen and fishery experts\u00a0from up and down the west coast have gathered in Santa Rosa, California today to learn how to structure their businesses under a new catch share program<\/a><\/strong> that will start Jan. 1st.\u00a0 Fishermen will hear from other fishermen who have made the transition to catch shares<\/a><\/strong> as well as government officials, fishery monitors, business and finance planners, and other fishery experts.\u00a0 The goal is to give fishermen the tools to thrive under the new system.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The workshop started this morning with introductory comments from Brian Mose, a trawl fisherman from British Columbia. Mose said that when his fishery \u2013 nearly identical to the U.S. groundfish fishery \u2013 moved to a catch share, fishermen had no help to figure out the new system.\u00a0 He described fishermen as \u201cshell shocked.\u201d\u00a0 But within a few months, fishermen began making changes, and today, the program is a success.\u00a0 Fishermen are making money and the fish stocks are stable or growing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new Pacific catch share was seven years in the making and should be a turning point for fishermen and the groundfish they harvest.\u00a0 Just ten years ago, the fishery was declared a disaster.\u00a0 Landings have plummeted 70 percent in the last two decades, and since 1998 revenues have dropped from $47.3 million to $22.2 million.<\/p>\n

Under the new system, fishermen will not be in a rush to fish and deliver their catch. Instead, they will time their trips in accordance with both weather and market forecasts, maximizing their profits while fishing in a safer, more efficient, and sustainable way. The approved plan includes precedent-setting provisions aimed at protecting coastal communities and the environment. There are several features in the plan that makes it stand out as a model for sustainable and adaptive fisheries management. The Council and NOAA have seen to it that fishermen and coastal communities have a real say in how they adopt new practices and adapt to the catch share system.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more updates from the workshop throughout the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
