From the article: 'That subsidy only benefited a portion of the 9,000 people in its region, Coastal Villages community benefits manager, Nathaniel Betz, said. About 600 fishermen sold their fish through the program, grossing $5,000 a year on average before fuel and other expenses, the organization said. Another 150 people worked in the plant.

"Coastal Villages is one of six groups in Western Alaska with a guaranteed share of lucrative high-seas fisheries for crab and pollock.

It is supposed to reinvest profits in the region, and says it has, spending more than $295 million from 2007 to 2015 in support of its 20 communities and the people who live in them.'

If I'm reading this correctly, Coastal Villages gets $37 million a year off the top from Lower 48 operators and then takes a cut, hands out the rest. Local fishermen make $5,000 a year fishing and then another $41,000 for each resident falls out of the sky? Can that be right?
