Dean Pruitt, third generation commercial fisherman from Florida, on how he wants to duplicate the success of the Gulf's red snapper catch share for grouper.
NMFS take a two thousand year old tradition and say only the guys on top are allowed now. There are a lot better ways. Now they want to do the same thing for the recreation sector. I know there are a lot of million dollar boats out there that can afford to buy $50,000 worth of quota so they can fish, but 90% of us can't.
69% of the permit holders were excluded from the vote - the referendum was a scam - this catch share system has been designed as a way to push out the little guy so a few can get filthy rich -
How do I get ahold of Dean Pruitt?
