Not catch shares, but a different approach to management.  VA has realized that their management plan is broken too, and what better way to design a management plan than to have it designed by the fishermen themselves.

It is like this all up down the coast. "The Management,ie, government, knows what is best for recreational crabbers and fisherman. Right now there is not any crabbing restriction on Coastal Georgia other than a minimum of 5 inches from point to point. Right now the Black Sea Bass and Red Snapper fisheries are closed to recreational fisher. Even though the fish stocks are higher than ever before by actually catchiing fish larger than ever before. The government wants to close down everything so the "eggheads" can do their "so called research". Which actually means, no crabbers are fisherman allowed.

I've got a bad feeling about the vibes I'm getting from these replies as well.
