Look no further than who is endorsing it for your answer:
The Environmental Defense Fund praised the new policy, saying that catch shares have restored fish populations while improving the livelihoods of fishermen.

Also, EDF held an economic summit earlier this year to talk about the profit potentials of buying up catch shares and the amount of economic return on those investments:eek:

Catch Shares, the auctioning off of America's fish to the highest bidder.
