Vote For GA resolution Sustainable Aquaculture Protocols
Resolution Analysis
Overview
The resolution at vote regulates aquaculture - that is, husbandry of seafood - especially when in bodies of water that are shared between World Assembly (WA) member states, e.g. the Great Lakes between a NationStates version of the United States and Canada, rivers that flow through multiple WA member states. This is a topic that has never been touched by past authors: the WA has had regulations on fishing - of wild fish - and farming of animals, but not farming of fish.
Additionally, the resolution provides a mechanism for disputes to be escalated to the WA in case of arguments between WA member states.
Recommendation
The resolution at vote hands regulatory powers to various existing WA agencies to develop detailed regulations that are arguably too detailed for the WA to define, largely to fill various gaps between existing resolutions in the "environment - agriculture" and "environment - fishing" categories. We believe this is a sensible move to plug an existing regulatory gap.
For the above reason, the Ministry of World Assembly Affairs recommends a vote For the General Assembly Resolution At Vote, "Sustainable Aquaculture Protocols".
