Go Vegetarian! Just kidding ;) I'm pretty sure fishing regulations
don't extend into nternational waters. There are some species that are

the numbers of adults that spawn in the shallow protected waters. I
think a first step could be the extension of protected zones. I'm not
sure if CITES covers fishing.
