How We Work
The fishing privileges the MBCQF will hold are in the form of Quota Shares (QS) and vessel permits for the trawl sector of the west coast groundfish fishery. These will be acquired and leased out to fishermen (in the form of annual quota pound (QP) allocations), to support the local economy, improve environmental and financial performance in smaller boat fisheries and preserve the Morro Bay working waterfront infrastructure and culture.
