NOAA Proposes Draft Catch Share Policy

The ultimate in pay to play! We are giving our public recourses away to the highest bidder. We are by far on our way to European Socialism.
I’m afraid that the next step to a public registry/licensing program is to limit the number of licenses issued. Perhaps there’ll be a lottery rather than an auction for a license or a waiting list like they have in Europe.

Tony, you're the lawyer, please explain this in a layman's brief summary terms. Thanks, Penn

I'm not a lawyer, I run riverboats for a living!

My cousin Ray is a lawyer. I'll get into more details of Catch Shares later, gotta go back and continue shoveling snow off the boats and dock.

That dont sound good. Sounds like a lot big ideas that no one finished thinking thru. BOHICA boys, get ready! They are trying to take our country away.
