Fisheries Economic Picture Comes into Focus Recreational fisheries generate far more economic activity with less impact on marine resources. So why are we still treated as an after-thought by NOAA Fisheries? NMFS released Fisheries Economics of the United States (FEUS) this week with much fanfare
Gentner: It’s time to rethink ‘catch shares’ Catch shares in marine fisheries is a concept unfamiliar to most people, and it is probably completely alien to most hunters and anglers in this country.
