Stranded Capital Presentation

 

At the March PFMC meeting in Sacramento, Dr. Jim Wilen gave a presentation on the concept of stranded capital in fisheries that have experienced rationalization through programs such as Individual Fishermen's Quotas (IFQ). This concept has been put forward by some businesses that are involved in the purchasing and processing of fish that has been caught and sold to them by commercial fishermen, as justification for the agrument that fish processors should be issue quota shares in any IFQ program.

 

Dr. Wilen discusses the concept and explains when stranded capital may occur.
