the trawler would be allowed to catch just 10 percent of available fish and would have little if any impact on the broader eco-system.

This is an outright lie. The trawling nets practically vacuuming 10% of fish in a wide area will have a profound effect on long term fish populations. Fish populations and sea biodiversity worldwide are diminishing fast and this will just solidify the trend. Good luck with that, Australia.

I hope they keep close tabs on this thing and ensure the restrictions are kept.

Is it the fate of things for mankind to kill every living creature from the planet including itself? At the rate we are going soon there will be no life in the oceans.
