I am in favor of the catch share programs in New England Multispecies Groundfish (including the allocation of 30% given to the recreational catch which is under the federal definition a catch share) and Scallops. Overfishing must end and none of the anti catch share rhetoric is proposing anything but raising quotas and returning us to a state of overfishing. Enough is enough.
