Catch Share Programs Can Be Effective at Managing Fisheries

"As of 2013, about 200 catch shares programs are managing more than 500 different species in 40 countries. Very much like dividing a pizza or pie, catch shares give a secure fishing area or privilege to catch a share of a fishery’s total allowable catch to an individual or group. And with this privilege, fishing participants are expected to fish within their allotted amount." - excerpt from post at Ocean Health Index website.
