Not enough boats ?
We would bin everything not worth much overboard and keep going until the hulls are full of prime cod, bass and sole.

If we ban super trawlers that would take care of the corporatefishing companies that monopolise the quota systems at the moment!
This will leave more fish in the sea for the small owner operated
boats to benefit from !
This will not be popular with the corporates who will then apply
pressure on government by intense lobbying etc !
This is why government should have no say in the management of
the fishing industry, but it should be managed firstly by the scientists
and then the fishing community of UK, who decide jointly what needs
to be done,( with the scientists predominating of course!)
If the waters are ours legally, then nobody can interfere with what we
do there ( in theory) ?
If this is not so, then the whole concept of international maritime
law is a nonsense??

Banning supertrawlers, redistributing and reducing the TAC limits and shortening the fishing season / number if days at sea would be my way if doing it.

- our votes (unfortunately only every five years);
- their personal interests (which normally take priority, of course).
