It's interesting that what some people call "successful business practices" (trying to get the best share of a common pie), others call "greed".

Unfortunately, the fish resources were once thought to be limitless in the past by most involved. This fueled a "race for the common resource". Now, all players know that this is not true and many look at things differently.

Fortunately many scientists and fishermen see the light, and are now working together to share expertise in many natiions to do a better job of ensuring the health of the oceans resources.

As I alluded to earlier, law enforcement folks often see life and people in "black and white" versus the "grey" areas in other professions. Possibly it makes some better at their "black and white jobs. I suspect others take a broader viewpoint, especially when they no longer work in that field and shed this skewed perspective.

Unfortunately, in living and working in the sector, in the past I even came across many "greedy" fisheries enforcement folks - who turned a blind eye on their "poaching" pals and profited from it themselves, taking what they could, when they could. But, I certainly have a broader (and fairer) perspective than to brand all people in any work sector with the "bad apples".
