Very interesting article on catch shares in the Alaskan halibut/sablefish fishery. While often touted as one of the best ways to manage fisheries by giving industry more of a stake in stewardship, reducing races for quota on opening day (“derby fishing”) and making landed catch better quality and more valuable. While that’s been accomplished in this fishery, there have been a lot of unforeseen social consequences.
