I'm not too sure of the details - this article suggests its a 27million dollar buy out based on historical catches per license.
So dormant licenses wont receive as much as active ones.
Most if not all the licenses in PPB are for multiple styles of fishing including netting and long lining - so the 10 or netters that didnt accept the buy back will switch to line fishing exclusively
And I remember reading that some licenses cant be leased, sold or passed on from father to son. So if the skipper breaks his leg or dies - the license cant be used by anyone else
