We have heard this ROI argument come up multiple times at Advisor meetings in the last 2 NOF's. Not really a return on investment in the classic sense of the fisherman hauling in the largest catches with the least investment of their time/talent/treasure..... but rather the volume of economic activity generated by the agency's investment on hatchery production, monitoring and enforcement of fisheries.

Not sure this is a healthy trend for the resource or the stakeholders, but it seems to come up more and more in the allocation discussions each year.
