There are some young people entering the fishery right now. If their family is in the fishery and the father is retiring right at the present time, some of them will take their father's fleet. Other than that, there aren't a lot of young people entering. Presently, about 60% of the fishermen are between 55 and 60 to 65 years old. If it's more viable and more profitable if fewer fishermen are on the water, and the ones who remain catch a few extra pounds, then it becomes more financially sustainable for them to enter the fishery.
