Local fishermen have been fishing with a system that gives them a certain number of days each year to get their work done.
Now, the push is on by some government agencies to have them fish in a “sector” program one that gives each boat a specific part of a grid in the ocean to fish.
Either way, there’s still a limit on the fish they can catch.
Whether it’s with the “Days At Sea” program, or the “Sector” program, many fishermen said neither is relevant until the science of counting the numbers and kinds of fish that are really out there gets better.
