Fresh hope for world's fisheries

[closeupready]

There is fresh hope that the world's depleted fisheries can be saved from collapse, say a team of researchers.

They said that efforts introduced to halt overfishing in five of the 10 large marine ecosystems they examined were showing signs of success.

A combination of measures - such as catch quotas, no-take zones, and selective fishing gear - had helped fish stocks recover, they added.

to get away with anything unless someone is examining their catch when they return from sea. One the authorities in those ecosystems start enforcement, the progress occurs.
