OverviewBased on testimony from fishermen, regulators, environmentalists and others, this is an exploration of how individual fishing quotas (IFQs) might address the serious social, economic and biologic issues raised by depleted fish stocks. In their approach to a national policy on IFQs, the panel makes direct recommendations to the American Congress, the Secretary of Commerce, the National Marine Fisheries Service, regional fishery management councils, state authorities, and others. This book provides definitions and examples, reviews legislation and regulations, and includes lessons learned from fisheries on the US East Coast and in Alaska, in Iceland and New Zealand, and other nations. The committee discusses the public trust doctrine, management of common-pool resources, alternative and complementary approaches to the IFQ, and more.
