What are the gaps between where we are and what our goals are?
*subtopics/issues
suggested solutions
1. How do we enforce international fishing regulations?
*how do we manage flag hopping?
economic incentives--make it worthwhile not to flag hop
*How does the EU function? What regulations does the EU impose? Could these be transferred to the UN?
2. What body do we get funding from to enforce these laws?
we could form a UN financial committee
2a. How do we make countries pay to UN?
UN financial committee to help individual countries analyze their ability to contribute to fishing regulations; i.e. financial consulting
could we create our own international regulatory board outside of the UN?
*how would that function?
3. How do we regulate the polar/deep sea regions? How can we keep track of the fish populations there, the biodiversity, the amount/type of fishing?
4. How can we achieve international compliance/cooperation- i.e. how do we reach a compromise?
