Emily's ideas:

1.       Use technology to catch only the certain type of fish you are allowed to so that limits wasted bycatch

2.       Have quotas for all types of fish, what length they should be at (depends on their biological traits, fecundity, scarcity, etc)

3.       Register each fishing boat to some political organization and have to have GPS attached to it

4.       Start an organization that is used to monitor the boats and fisheries and quotas, composed of scientists, politicians, and fishermen who want to shift over, paid for by the government

5.       Institute closed areas in dying zones so that they don't affect the economy too severely

6.       Heavily fine anybody who breaks the regulations, use the money from the fines to increase awareness, support the political organization

7.       Increase fish farming as an industry, devote resources to research safety, health standards, mutation, etc to make it more healthy and safe to eat
