I think fleet separation is an important first step. It was the first step on the east coast as well, to separate processing licences from fishing licences. It boggles my mind that we haven't begun with a fleet separation on the Pacific coast. I think that would be the first step.
I know there's often the argument that you can't unscramble an egg, that this is what we have. I agree with many who say it is very complicated, but I don't think its being complicated is a reason not to uncover a way to create policies that create better outcomes. I think fleet separation is a place to start, and the owner-operator aspect needs to be examined as well, for sure.
