PERFECTION IS ACHIEVED NOT WHEN THERE IS NOTHING MORE TO ADD, BUT WHEN THERE IS NOTHING LEFT TO TAKE AWAY.
stopped.Orri
Vigfusson
decided
to
circumvent
the
bureaucratic,
regulatory
approach
with
a
proposal
that
allows
both
sport
and
commercial
fishermen
to
win
if
netting
is
reduced.When
this
Icelandic
businessman
is
not
distilling
and
exporting
vodka,
he
is
either
sport
fishing
for
Atlantic
salmon,
raising
them
at
his
aquafarm,
or
seeking
to
restore
wild
stocks.He
began
in
1987
by
investing
his
own
resources
in
a
study
that
established
a
link
between
netting
and
declining
salmon
stocks.Working
from
his
salmon
farm
on
the
Laxa
River
in
northeast
Iceland,
researchers
tagged
8,000
fish
and
released
them
into
the
open
ocean.The
tagged
fish
did
not
return
to
spawn,
but
their
tags
were
returned
to
Vigfusson
by
fishermen
from
Greenland
and
the
Faroe
Islands
who
caught
the
fish
in
their
nets.Just
as
farmers
receive
payments
not
to
irrigate,
the
Faroe
Islands
fishermen
received
$685,500
per
year
not
to
fish.As
a
result,
in
1993,
nearly
twice
as
many
salmon
returned
to
their
native
rivers
in
Iceland
and
Europe.This
program
would
compensate
fishermen
for
the
income
they
forgo
from
the
projected
catch
and
would
finance
training
programs
for
fishermen
