I completely under stand why the UN is trying to protect the under water species. However, there has to be a way to monitor and keep track of a species so that it can be used for the good of man kind without eliminating it. I think that the answer is not completely forbidding it, but rather creating a strict monitoring situation in which the species is monitored and even bred in captivity so as to limit the amount of species taken in the wild.
