Consumers may face potential increases in seafood prices if fishing regulations tighten to prevent marine mammal entanglement. Increased marine protection efforts could also boost eco-tourism demand in coastal regions.
Likely increased pressure for stricter fishing net regulations, mandatory gear modifications, and expanded marine protected areas. May lead to fishing industry compliance costs and potential restrictions on gill net usage in migration corridors.
