Out of curiosity, I wonder how much you know about the way Alaska's fisheries are managed. We have some of the most productive fisheries and the most sustainable in the world. Many other fisheries around the country have collapsed, though some are recovering, due in some part to the Magnuson-Stevens Act. If you just let everyone with a driver's license fish to their heart's content, you'd overfish and destroy the fishery for future generations. Management requires biologists to set quotas and collect and analyze data to project quotas each year. We also need some enforcement folks to manage each of the allocation groups. I like to believe in anarchy--people voluntarily working for the greater good--but I've seen fishing in Alaska, and without some imposed limits from ADF&G, I don't think the anglers would necessarily limit themselves. Alaska statehood began with limiting fish traps, thank goodness. Fishing licenses help pay for fisheries management.
