This is nice progress, but international regulation (and enforcement) of emission controls, banning plastic nets, and ending slave vessels would have much more impact.

Inventing viable electric fishing vessels in no way takes away from anyone's ability to do those things. And the people doing this work aren't fungible: boat motor designers aren't ever going to be the same people banning plastic nets. It's not either-or.
