\"AnThe West Coast is a big step closer to improving management of its valuable and struggling groundfish fishery.\u00a0 A plan for individual fishing quotas (IFQs) was identified as a top priority for the groundfish commercial trawl fishery by fishermen and the regional fishery management council.\u00a0 A goal for implementation in 2011 has been set.<\/p>\n

This program and one in Alaska, along with the Gulf of Mexico\u2019s recently approved commercial red snapper, grouper and tilefish IFQs are the newest additions to the United States\u2019 catch share portfolio – now 20 programs strong. The first catch share in the U.S. was implemented in 1990 as an IFQs for the Atlantic Surfclam and Ocean Quahog fishery.\u00a0 Since then, states like Alaska have led the way with IFQs, community development quotas and cooperatives for its halibut, sablefish, crab, and pollock fleets.\u00a0 And, New England has implemented catch share \u201csector\u201d management for portions of the hook and line and fixed gear cod fisheries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These various catch share programs have benefits not often found under traditional management — they are successful in keeping harvests in-line with catch limits, reducing wasted fish and helping fishermen improve business practices.\u00a0<\/p>\n
