Charles Borden, 33, is a commercial fisherman out of Westport, Massachusetts. Mr. Borden?s father works in fisheries management, though he does not have family history in commercial fishing, he began fishing at age 14 on a skiff and worked his way up to become a captain on his own vessel in Westport, Massachusetts. For the past 3 years, he has fished predominantly for monkfish in the inshore and offshore, depending on the season. His boat is in the common pool; he also owns 2 permits in sector but does not fish on sector quota, though he will likely join sector 7 next year after the purchase of a larger boat. Mr. Borden does not think that sectors are all bad, but that a modified Days at Sea management plan might have been a better choice. He feels that fish were not allocated in a reasonable or equitable manner, which is a big failing of sectors. His biggest concern is that the fishing industry will become consolidated because it is very expensive to start fishing now and only established fishermen can afford to buy permit history. Mr. Borden believes that because he is young, he is used to restrictions and therefore more adaptable to regulations as they are mandated; his father?s role in fisheries management also plays a role in his understanding of management and adaptability. His outlook is positive and he is hopeful that his fishing business will continue to grow at the rate it has up to this point for the foreseeable future.
