Okay, it makes sense to say we should prevent overfishing. That doesn’t mean it makes any sense to pay fishermen for the fish they don’t catch. That’s a gibberish sentence. Why should a professional fisherman get paid for the fish he doesn’t catch? Shouldn’t I also get paid for all the fish I don’t catch (which is every fish that has ever existed)? And who is doing the paying?
