If countries want to preserve their fishing stocks for local fishermen they'll have to set fishing quotas or no fish zones within their EEZs like the article suggests. But fish have no conception of EEZ boundaries and the moment they wander outside they're free game for Chinese DWF fleets. From China's view, if foreign countries want big EEZs, they can shoulder the cost of maintaining the fishing grounds inside.
Looks like the real solution is to genetically modify fish so they always stay within 200 nm of land.
Humans alive today don't have much worse lives because of our killing of the Mammoth, the dodo, or the giant sloth.
Humans alive in 2000 years also won't have much worse lives. It'll be a sidenote in biology class "Did you know, there used to be many different types of animal roaming freely, but now there are just two types left, cats and dogs.".
Humans who don't have something don't know how great it was or what they're missing.
Perhaps your ancestors could have told you how awesome it was to ride mammoths into the sunset... But those ancestors are no longer around and we think of them as mostly theoretical creatures.
