Book Description
Catch share programs are a fishery management tool that dedicates a secure share of quota allowing individual fishermen, fishing cooperatives, fishing communities, or other entities to harvest a fixed amount of fish. With clearly defined fishing privileges, fishermen no longer need to "race to fish," but instead can make harvest decisions based upon market conditions, improving economic performance, and weather conditions, which improves crew safety. These incentives can reduce the cost of taking conservation actions and can encourage individual fishing choices that are more consistent with sustainable fishing practices such as reducing low-value or undersized catch that is discarded at sea but is frequently associated with high mortality rates. The ability to align fishermen's economic incentives with the long-term biological health of the fishery singularly distinguishes catch share programs from traditional fishery management strategies (i.e., trip limits, gear restrictions, etc.). Nationwide, there are 15 catch share programs currently in operation. This book provides basic information on the economic performance of U.S. catch share programs using a standard set of indicators that are uniformly applied across these highly diverse programs.

Book Description
The problems of subtractability and low excludability often lead to overexploitation of common pool resources such as fisheries. Market-based mechanisms, or catch shares, are a collection of policy innovations increasingly employed in fisheries management to address a variety of policy problems including overfishing and overcapitalization. Catch shares have been successful domestically and internationally in protecting the productivity and sustainability of the resource, the industry, and the culture built around it. Yet, this policy instrument remains controversial for both its intended and unintended consequences and the trade-off between economic efficiency and social equity that is often at the heart of these issues. This thesis traces the innovation in the design and use of catch shares by the Regional Fishery Management Councils to more effectively reach policy objectives over time. I used a multiple case analysis framework based on the existing theory of policy and instrumental learning and policy diffusion to examine how new information, knowledge, and experience was or was not incorporated into a Council's development process of a catch share program. Additionally, I analyzed the learning outcome of each case based on the original design of the management program. Four distinct programs were analyzed that vary temporally from the first catch share implementation in the U.S. to one of the most recent. I found that significant learning occurred overall, however the process and outcome manifested in considerably different ways between the cases. The learning process incorporated the experience of other Councils in employing catch share management and prior experience of a Council had an important influence on later developments by the same Council for other fisheries. The program development in each case was inextricably linked with the unique contextual characteristics of the fishery; this finding emphasizes the importance of reinventing the development process for each new catch share program. The analysis of the four cases showed that Councils have continued to innovate in the development of catch shares, but continue to struggle with preventing unintended consequences such as consolidation. Therefore, learning must continue for catch shares to be an effective and successful tool for the long-term management of fisheries.

Book Description
The 2012 report provides landings totals for both domestic recreational and commercial fisheries by species and allows us to track important indicators such as annual seafood consumption and the productivity of top fishing ports. These statistics provide valuable insights, but to fully understand the overall condition of our fisheries, they must be looked at in combination with other biological, social, and economic factors of ecosystem and ocean health.
