We got a package by registered mail today with a lot of information about the IFQ system as well as specific numbers on the shares that they are going to allot my own boat this year. Not surprisingly, the numbers they send are about 25% lower than what we came up with when we compared our landings against the formulas that NOAA distributed last year. I haven’t had time to go over them with a fine toothed comb but you can bet I will be doing that over the next few days.
If anyone wants to share what they feel about this issue at this point in the process, we’d be very interested to hear your comments.
