This particular fisherman will be a witness here at committee as well, so he'll be able to enlighten the committee on why he couldn't do it.
With regard to vessel regulations, this same fisherman has a family enterprise. They have to have three vessels because they have six quotas. They can only fish two quotas on each vessel. Why would a vessel be limited to the number of quotas it can fish on a particular vessel? It was just last week I spoke to him. He said it's crazy. He has to use one boat to catch two quotas, another vessel to catch two quotas, and another.... They have to have three boats to catch their quota. Their quota is their quota, so why such strict regulations that are putting an onerous and financial burden on people who are involved in the fishery?
