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

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

They want to sell our natural resources to the highest bidder!

If the Catch Share Program has worked so well for Red Snapper since the 1990's as quoted......Why have they closed it down???????
