In 2011 the National Oceanic &amp; Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) instituted a \u2018<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nwfsc.noaa.gov\/research\/divisions\/fram\/catch_shares.cfm\">catch share<\/a>\u2019 program, which was developed over several years by a broad range of stakeholders, including commercial fishermen, fishery managers, and the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF). (Full disclosure: I work for EDF.) At the same time, this new management plan established a system of 100 percent catch monitoring, which ensured that every fish that came over the rail was accounted for.<\/p>\n<p>Taken together, and recognized by the MSC certification, these measures have drastically reduced bycatch (also known as unwanted or untargeted catch), limited the take of sensitive depleted species, and sparked innovation throughout the fishery. Even better, the changes apply to the entire trawl fishery in California, Oregon, and Washington, accounting for approximately 40 million pounds in landings in 2013.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/catchshares.edf.org\/catch-share-basics\">If you\u2019re not familiar with catch shares<\/a>, they succeed by giving fishermen a financial stake in their fishery\u2019s future in exchange for greater accountability. By doing so, fishermen avoid and can actually reverse the \u201ctragedy of the commons,\u201d in which too many boats chase\u2014and inevitably over-harvest\u2014steadily dwindling fish stocks.<\/p>\n<p>Brad Pettinger, a lifelong fisherman and director of the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ortrawl.org\/\">Oregon Trawl Commission<\/a>, coordinated the fishing industry\u2019s effort to gain MSC certification.\u00a0 \u201cWest coast trawl fishermen are extremely proud to have met these stringent criteria for sustainability,\u201d says Pettinger. \u201cAnd with the unhurried fishing season that we have under catch shares, we\u2019ve dramatically reduced bycatch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Bouncing Back From Disaster<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Remembering a January 2000 federal disaster declaration in his fishery, Pettinger says, \u201cFifteen years ago they wrote the obituary for this fishery. Ten years ago we started working on a rationalized management plan, and three years ago we put it in place. That was the watershed moment, and now we\u2019re demonstrating that we can be good stewards of an amazing public resource. We could not be happier or more proud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.edf.org\/people\/shems-jud\">Shems Jud<\/a>, who leads EDF Oceans\u2019 Pacific team, has worked to rebuild Pacific groundfish stocks alongside fishermen like Pettinger for seven years. He believes that 100 percent monitoring is probably the single greatest change in the fishery, but one that does not come cheap.<\/p>\n<p>Those federal observers cost hundreds of dollars a day and many west coast fishing businesses already operate on razor-thin margins. Still, what they gain with a federal observer is accountability, and in a seafood marketplace that increasingly rewards sustainable fishing practices, that can create market leverage.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Looking Forward<\/b><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5497\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5497\" style=\"width: 347px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2014\/06\/Dover07.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5497\" alt=\"Dover sole (Photograph by NOAA FishWatch)\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2014\/06\/Dover07.jpg\" width=\"347\" height=\"520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2014\/06\/Dover07.jpg 347w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/edfish\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/18\/files\/2014\/06\/Dover07-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 347px) 100vw, 347px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5497\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dover sole (Photograph by NOAA FishWatch)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cMSC\u2019s certification may assist in that respect,\u201d continues Jud. \u201cFor the fishermen who have adapted to an entirely new management regime and\u00a0increased operating costs, we are optimistic that this recognition will result in new and stronger market opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To help keep operating costs in check,\u00a0the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcouncil.org\/\">Pacific Fishery Management Council<\/a>\u00a0is beginning a process that may one day replace human observers with electronic monitoring (EM) systems.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s become a huge priority for us,\u201d Jud added. \u201cIn order for this catch share program to endure and succeed, fishermen have to survive economically.
