Answer:

The answer is FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

Seafood Watch is a program sponsored by the Monterrey Bay Aquarium; recommendations for which seafood to buy or avoid; consumers and businesses to become advocates for "ocean-friendly" seafood; found online, in printed pocket guides, or on mobile devices

So in conclusion, Seafood Watch has limited regulatory power--they just provide guidelines and recommendations and don't have the legal power to criminalize specific fishing practices. Hope this helped :)
