Default Re: New rules proposed for high seas fishing

3 miles? Outside the Exclusive Enterprise Zone (Magnuson Act) is beyond 200 miles of shore.

Just some rediculous rule US will have and is unenforceable against foreign ships in international waters. Quite symbolic and warm and cuddly yet near useless in the bigger picture.
