I'll try to summarize it fairly quickly.
Before you used to have one licence that allowed you to fish from the Alaskan border to the Washington border. Then they went to area licensing, so the north coast from Pine Island north is one area for trolls. The west coast of Vancouver Island is another area, then the Salish Sea another for trolling. Seines have two licences: north-south; gill nets, that's Fraser River north coast, and then I believe Vancouver Island. I don't gill net, so I don't...but they went to different areas.
If you want to fish all of the areas, you have to buy three licences and stack those licences onto your vessel. Now they've gone to weak management, so you're even restricted further by fishing areas. When we have a chinook opening, we're only allowed to fish from Tian on the west side of Haida Gwaii and most of Dixon Entrance. It's a very small area that we're allowed to fish in now.
As far as managing declining stocks is concerned, we don't really see an increase in the fish we're allowed to retain. There just seem to be further restrictions on our ability to harvest fish. That's why they're managing a declining stock, because if more fish were available to be harvested, then you would see an increase in the commercial allocation, which we haven't seen in a significant amount of time.
