Question
Chapter ST11, Problem 1CQ
To determine
The role of Individual Transferable Quotas in reducing the risk associated with fishers.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Limits on fishing season is used a measure to control overfishing in the oceans, while this type of restrictions induces the fishers to do dangerous race to fish. The individual transferable quota (ITQ) is one of the strategy to solve both of these problems. The ITQs give fishers proprietorship of a portion of the allowable fish catch. Therefore, fishers can catch their own quota without fear of losing their share. This rights-based fishing also reduces the problem of overfishing.
