According to Costello, fisheries, or areas where a certain kind of fish is caught, represent a textbook example of a tragedy of the commons - the classic economics metaphor for a shared resource that is ruined because of competition between users. Giving fishermen catch shares - also known as Individual Fishing Quotas (IFQs) - doesn't dampen competition for fish, but manages it by essentially making fishermen stakeholders in a fishery. Costello explains that IFQs, which can be bought, sold or traded just like stocks, discourage overfishing by giving fishermen a vested interest in preserving the future health of the resource...

...About 1 in 5 students nationwide smoke, and just how they'll be sanctioned on PASSHE campuses if they violate the ban remains unclear. At the moment, most smokers can expect a warning if they're caught lighting up; during a "smoke-in" event at Clarion on Sept. 15, campus police passed out yellow citation cards to protesters who were smoking. But, Marshall says, it is the state's department of health that will ultimately determine whether offenders should pay a fine, and how much that should be. Which still may not thwart all smokers.
