One step that may help is to seize and sell boats that are breaking rules rather than just chasing them away.

What about the bulk of the ocean, which is not under any country's jurisdiction? We used to depend on the limited fishing capacity of human fishing fleets to avoid wiping oceans clean of fish, but that solution is not adequate any more.

*Industrial runoff and lax standards have tainted water across the US. Senators and doctors are calling me, asking what to do.*
