On the buyout aspect of it, we always stated that we buy out the aging fishermen first. There's a large percentage. I don't know if it's 50% or not, but it's over 50% now and there's a very large percentage ready to get out of the fisheries, though.
They would have first crack at the buyout, and then you wouldn't have to replace them into the workforce, which is one of our main concerns, and we never really did anything for the young people. I know there's been stuff done through the association, but our association personally just thought the young fellows would go as they would. It's an open market, but there has to be training and stuff. The first time I sailed a boat was when I bought mine 28 years ago.
But I think the main concern right now is, getting back to the FRCC report, how taking fleets out of the water could not be good for our fishery. I just can't understand how somebody could sit there and make that statement. It is the best thing that could ever be done, and it has been proven in the past. We as fishermen all know that.
On the buyout, we want to buy out the elderly fishermen first, so they wouldn't be taking somebody else's job when they left the fishery, and I think we have the numbers to do that. We are looking at 60-plus that we'd be buying out.
