  Governmental efforts to reduce overfishing and replenish fish stocks have led to some species being regulated under fishing quotas or catch shares. Quotas dictate how many fish each fisher may catch and keep. These programs may limit demand for fishers over the projections decade. For hunting workers, an expected decline in recreational hunting will limit demand for guided hunts. Animal pelts will continue to be used to manufacture fur coats, hats, and gloves, which may increase demand for trappers. However, most of the fur used in clothing comes from ranches or farms that breed, maintain, and harvest desirable species, such as mink.
