NAMA Comments | New England Fishery Management Council’s Groundfish Catch Share Program Review

Jennifer Publications

NAMA submitted comments in August 2019 to the New England Fishery Management Council for their Groundfish Catch Share Program Review, covering fishing years 2010-2015. Our conclusions are that the Council failed to protect fleet diversity, prevent excessive consolidation, and uphold democratic principles in the implementation of the catch share program.
