Sorry, but been burnt once. NZ installed quotas early on and I lived in blissful ignorance for ten years thinking we had well-managed fish stocks. Turned out it was bullshit. This is not about virtue signalling (which you have flagged up with me before - duly noted) but a change in consumer mindset. We just have to stop eating wild fish. Period. And this includes farmed fish fed on wild fish. Everything else is just whitewash.
Well then, why not reform those quota fisheries that are in your opinion failing?
Is social cooperation that difficult in New Zealand? Do your regard people in New Zealand and around the world as culturally deficient, i.e., incapable of solving the simplest of social dilemmas?

i'll eat lab grown fish or powdered fish-like protein pills (same for other animal like proteins)
We stopped eating any saltwater fish (including aqua-culture) last year. There has to be an immediate global moratorium on fishing to give to oceans time to recover (and even that might not be enough).
No.
There has to be a continuing move to tradeable quota fisheries from open access chaos. Moratoria are great for heart-warming virtue signalling but it will not work.
For an example of well managed international quota fishery, see the Pacific Halibut fishery.

No. He's not kidding. It's a sticky wicket this public private cooperation thing. The only problem is that the public generally has little knowledge of the interconnectedness of their elected leaders and their private agreements. What else is new? How long has the President-elect been in government? Dare I say a really long time? I'm sure the MSM and one or another committee will eventually get to the bottom of it. Yay 20/20 vision and behold the new visionaries!
The race is on to find a steady source of lithium, a key component in rechargeable electric car batteries. But while the EU focuses on emissions, the lithium gold rush threatens environmental damage on an industrial scale
