"After more than 20 years of negotiations, WTO members finally seem intent on reeling back the subsidies that fund these destructive practices. Last year, negotiators agreed to significantly curtail some fishing subsidies, including limiting or prohibiting them to 'Vessels or operators engaged in illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing or fishing-related activities in support of IUU fishing,' 'fishing or fishing-related activities regarding stocks that are overfished' and 'fishing or fishing-related activities on the unregulated high seas.'"

"Not only can we make further progress on developing and deploying the breakthrough technologies we need, but we can also spread economic and near-term environmental benefits across the globe as we do it.

The Government Accountability Office recently reported that the approval process is so burdensome that only one state has submitted and been granted an exemption from the EPA, a project in Kansas in 2012."
