They might consider a fisheries agent based on a coastal atoll who uses a tethered balloon carrying a radar sensor to detect all vessels that enter the community's no-take fishing sanctuary.

Thirty years ago, most fishing villages were isolated so that locals knew little about the disaster playing out just a few kilometres away.
The spill years were devastating for fishermen, many of whom had nowhere else to turn for income or food,
but fisheries recovered faster than most researchers expected. Ch ¡vez says that Campeche shrimp-catch records,
for instance, suggest that within two years fishermen were pulling in normal hauls again. Locals say that fish catches improved substantially within three to five years.
But the curtailment of commercial fishing owing to fears over contaminated seafood may hasten the recovery of exploited species. In some parts of Campeche,

The erosion is a consequence of an unexpected synergy between recreational over-fishing and Great depression-era ditches constructed by Works Progress Administration (WPA) in an effort to control mosquitoes.
When fishermen hook too many predatory fishes out of the marsh's ecosystem the fishes'prey go on fruitfully multiplying unchecked.
The pattern cued the researchers to the possibility that recreational fishing was the trigger Coverdale says.
