Look toward some laws implemented by scientists overseeing fishing operations, here you will see intentional created waste "bycatch". Florida law requires fisherman use nets that have a 98 % bycatch rate. The mesh size could be increased by just 1inch and bycatch will drop from 98 % to just 2 % ! Fisherman here in the US are not to blame, biological law from fishing agencies corrupted by personal agenda account for our waste problems !!

good work :D

Yes, industrial fleets !!! But did you know here on the east coast of NC, UN, we must intentionally catch bycatch with little value to harvest fish that have high economic value ? We have to kill one specie of fish in order to save and sell another with no just cause !!!!

I have been fishing for over 50 years, mostly in Africa. When one fished only rod and reel fisheries there were sustainable,supporting many coastal communities . Once the high tech trawling, longlining fleets (mostly from China, Korea, Japan) managed to bribe, corruptible officials for fishing rights many of these local African fisheries have collapsed. The only solution I see is a drastic global moratorium, that insists on all fishing to revert back to rod and reel, to allow stocks to recover.
