Implement a Five-Year Moratorium on High Seas Fishing

Industrial fishing has severely depleted many fish populations. Destructive practices like trawling harm the seafloor and vital habitats, while shark finning disrupts the food chain and trash kills wildlife. Recognizing these issues, this paper proposes a politically viable, realistic solution to aid in ocean recovery and enforce law on the High Seas. We suggest a five-year moratorium on industrial fishing in international waters to help replenish fish stocks, protect marine species, and restore seafloor habitats. Emphasizing the importance of international cooperation, this initiative aims to conserve biodiversity in areas beyond national jurisdiction (ABNJ), mitigate potential political and social unrest, and prevent the dire consequences of collapsing global fisheries. This approach is crucial as the oceans, which cover over 70% of the planet, play a key role in climate regulation and support vast marine biodiversity.
