I mentioned earlier that before any laws, regulations, or policies could or should be implemented a good form of enforcement should be developed. Currently, there are many regulations and suggestions regarding fishing, and the seas. The main problem that has prevented the current policies from taking effect is the lack of enforceability. The UN attempted to establish an enforcing agency, at least for the United States, should by the U.S. Coast Guard. The Coast Guardagency that would press suit to violators. The agency was inefficient and hardly did any enforcing. Now why is it that it is so difficult to enforce oceanic laws? Some believe that it is the shear size of the oceans. They are to big to patrol and keep track of all the vessels. My counter argument to that belief is the sky. The sky is much larger than the oceans but today countries are still able to regulate the types of airplanes that fly in their airspace. Planes are much faster than shipping vessels but countries are still able to track and communicate with them. The United States, along with other countries, have "no fly zones" which, like the name suggests, no plane is allowed to fly. I figure if it is possible to have and enforce no fly zones it must be possible to regulate the seas and no fishing zones.
