individual transfer quota (ITQ)
Definition
A system used by government entities to manage production of certain goods or services for economic or environmental purposes. The government assigns each party involved in production of the goods or services a quota. If one party does not fulfill the quota, it may sell (transfer) the unused portion to another party. This type of program is often used in fisheries to prevent excessive depletion of resources.
