Are there robust methods in place to stop pollution entering the oceans and seas?
Is ocean life and/or biodiversity being killed faster than it can recover and/or evolve?
If all fishing is stopped for a set period of time, will fish and other sea dwelling flora and fauna multiply to numbers that match pre-industrial fishing levels?
If said flora and fauna did reach those levels, would they consume most of the plastic and other waste in the seas during the no fishing period?
If said flora and fauna were allowed a full life cycle to live and die and sink to the bottom, would they take the plastic they have swallowed down with them to become sediment at the bottom of the oceans thus capturing plastic waste and carbon?
If captured plastic waste at the bottom of the ocean, has been removed from the upper levels of the seas, would the oceans now be clean and stocks fully replenished?
If, while the fishing ban was in place, robust measures were introduced and enforced to prevent the same destruction recurring, would this allow a fishing/ocean sigmoid curve to be achieved?
