Can catch shares prevent fisheries collapse?
Scientists from UC Santa Barbara and the University of Hawaii suggests a possible solution, “Can Catch Shares Prevent Fisheries Collapse?” to the problem of overfishing. In their study, the authors looked at statistics from more than 10,000 fisheries between 1950 and 2003. They found that catch-share systems, which encourage fishermen to act cooperatively rather than competitively, can reduce and possibly even reverse fisheries collapse.
