WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?: Every long-term successful and sustainable fishery, near-shore or
high-seas, needs to be managed according to some basic ground rules: Safe catch limits, Controls on
bycatch, Protection of pristine (pristiin) and important habitats, Monitoring and Enforcement
(inforsment). It's fair to say that individuals cannot solve this global problem all by ourselves, we need
politicians to strengthen international law. What we can do is make a difference. Over a decade (dekeid)
