All the US law doesn't stop foreign countries from fishing until there is nothing left so whats the point. You will never get an international consensus on the topic except possibly worldwide "no fish" zones to allow the marine populations to recover. Enforcing that alone will be very, very difficult. RT

First I would say that not having a solution that is absolutely perfect does not mean that we should have no answer at all. This is a common response to change, also illustrated in the trash thread. I don't know what the solution is, or even if there is one, bit that doesn't mean I can't recognize we have a problem. For pme thing. I don't think it is too much to ask that whatever we fish out of the oceans and lakes, we eat - as opposed to feeding farms, or mixing into cow feed or whatever the heck else we put it in.
