A crab fishing program started in 2005 in Alaske to stop overfishing and ensure fishermens safety has given fishing rights to corporations, put individual fishermen out of work, and risked the marine ecosystem.
The program, called “crab rationalization,” effectively privatized a once-public resource by granting certain individuals and corporations exclusive crab quotas – how much crab they can harvest each year.
