These are long-term, aiming to give fishermen a stake in the future of their fisheries; market-based, since they can be traded; and, in practice, good for fish.\u201d<\/p>\n

Catch shares need to be carefully designed and are not a \u2018silver bullet\u2019 for all fisheries, but they should be kept on the table as an innovative tool that can help fishermen and fish populations. Decisions about fishery management should be made by Regional Councils, not Congress.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
