Zach,
I offered up my views of IFQs on the first page of this thread, suffice it to say here that there are pros and cons, and right now in my mind the cons outweigh the pros. But as a memeber of the ASMFC and MAFMC advisory panel on Scup, sea bass and fluke, I'd love to hear new ideas of how to reduce the waste, i.e. regulatory discards. We just started the process of developing a new amendment the the fishery management plans for all three species, so any good ideas would be very timely.
