What would that even mean? 100% of the ocean is off limits to fishing?

A surprising amount of the ocean is within the Exclusive Economic Zone of countries, as defined by another UN agreement called UNCLOS. So based on UNCLOS, countries have control over waters within their EEZ. This new agreement addresses waters outside the of EEZ's of countries where currently no one had control. I think that this is a good start.
