\"SEfishingboat-sm\"Southeast fishermen recently\u00a0finished the first month of closures on many popular fish. Many fisheries won\u2019t open again for several months and reality is sinking in across the region.<\/p>\n

The New York Times<\/a><\/em> is even taking notice. When a region\u2019s fishery woes make ink in one of the most prominent papers in the nation, you know it\u2019s a big deal.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s apparent that closures aren\u2019t working for fishing businesses, restaurants or local economies.\u00a0 Fishermen can\u2019t make a living when they can\u2019t fish. Businesses that rely on local fish must turn to far off places to get it.\u00a0 What\u2019s not as apparent is that closures aren\u2019t even very good for the region\u2019s ecosystem, because they force fishermen to fish harder on other species that aren\u2019t closed. This can cause market gluts and an early end to the fishing season for many species, which just multiplies current problems.<\/p>\n

However, in all the sobering news coverage<\/a> that\u2019s come out lately, outlets are overlooking a solution that\u2019s good for fish and fishing businesses.<\/p>\n

Southeast fishermen need catch shares, which allow fishermen the flexibility to fish when the weather and prices are good and improve collection of fishery data, all while rebuilding fish populations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The good news is that the South Atlantic Fishery Management Council is already exploring<\/a> this solution. In fact, the Council has scheduled a catch shares workshop <\/a>for March 1 preceding the Council\u2019s next regular meeting. If you\u2019re interested in learning more about the best solution for Southeast fisheries, I encourage you to attend. The meeting is open to the public.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
