A logical outcome of massive consolidation of fishing licenses into just a few companies, owners and boats is... derelict boats.
Welcome to the West Coast of British Columbia. Where fishing used to be a livelihood (including for my own father for 30 years), but now it's the domain of corporations and wealthy multi-license owners.

I am also a little saddened by the comment to 'avoid wood boats’. Wood boats are sustainable and can last for a hundred years if maintained.

Study finds bottom trawling nets 3,000 marine fish species, including threatened ones
How many marine fish species do bottom trawls catch? Researchers now have a list, and it’s long, running to some 3,000 species, according to a recent study. Bottom trawling is a commercially popular, and controversial, fishing method in which boats drag weighted nets along the seafloor. Usually they target commercially valuable marine life at the […]
