\n<\/a>The November issue of Fishermen\u2019s News includes in-depth look<\/a> at the transformation of fishing for almost 100 species along the West Coast since catch shares were introduced last year.<\/p>\n

The West Coast Groundfish Catch Share Program was first proposed by fishermen who realized that their fishery was on an unsustainable course. Design and development of the program took about seven years, and required a collaborative approach among diverse stakeholders: small-boat fishermen, large \u201cmothership\u201d trawlers, environmental groups, state officials, regional Council members and NOAA officials, just to name a few.<\/p>\n

From the article<\/a> by reporter Terry Dillman:<\/p>\n

\u201cCoos Bay-based trawler Rex Leach said he had \u2018some pretty big reservations\u2019 about catch shares, but after the first year, he\u2019s \u2018happy to say I was wrong.\u2019 Discards are nearly non-existent and he can now plan groundfish landings when it\u2019s convenient for his operation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
