Your members actually acquired access and paid the open market commercial rates at the time for that access in a willing buyer, willing seller sort of terminology. It wasn't obtained in some surreptitious way or allocation. They paid money for it. They kept the fishery going and continued to try to develop it when others weren't. Do you think it is fair, after all that investment, that those who sold now ask for it back for nothing?
