The problem is (a) fish tend to congregate in territorial waters (that's why countries claimed them in the first place), and (b) outside of territorial waters there is no workable way to enforce the boundaries. Well, if fish congregate in terretorial waters, that makes my plan easier to implement, as you don't have to worry as much about over fishing by one country impacting another. Enforcement would hopefully be by treaty, and ultimately by force.

But the point is, Rodney, if I already own exclusive fishing rights in my own territorial waters, what incentive would I have for selling them to some international body? And as far as individuals go, this is already accomplished through licensing fees.
