Description[?]:
INTERNATIONAL WATERS FOR LIFE INIATIVE The oceans of our planet are a common treasury for all, not just a resource to be exploited. We are stewards of these global commons, not owners. The Law of the Sea allows national governments to prevent over-fishing within their coastal waters, but international waters remain a free-for-all. Marine life knows nothing of borders, and must be protected in international waters as well. Whaling in international waters is strictly prohibited. Fishing nets able to trap dolphins shall not be permitted in international waters. A non-partisan international commission of marine biologists shall be established to monitor fish stocks. Where fish stocks are being depleted at an unsustainable rate, quotas shall be established to prevent over-fishing. National governments are encouraged to impose similar regulations within their own territorial waters. |
