If you really wanted to accomplish this, have a conservation organization buy fishing days for the EEZ that hosts the species you want to protect.
If you wanted to fix this for all time, the US should buy the entire island nation of Kiribati, resettle the current occupants someplace where they can continue with a similar culture (maybe somewhere on the Texas coast), and then turn the Kiribati EEZ into an MOA for the US Navy. Tell the Chinese and Taiwanese that subs will be letting of torpedos there, or that there are mines to keep them out. That would give highly migratory species like tuna a safe area to rebuild their numbers.
- ajmurmann 8y agoI love the idea of buying fishing days. Iceland sells fishing quotas, I wonder if one could buy them with the intention of not using them. I've always thought the fundamental problem here is that I cannot pay to not have a fish caught. Maybe there are in fact ways around this?
