Message | We would prefer that responsibility over this issue be devolved to local governments. We do not believe it to be a matter of national concern. |

Message | I would accept that as a viable alternative if it weren't for the nature of oceans. Companies, in order to stay in business, will just flock to regions with lax/no quotas and conversely regions will lower quotas to attract these businesses. Only national action can provide sensible protection of this natural resource. |
