MCHH 149: Pacific Ocean Fisheries Recovers, Fishery Re-Opens

Dec 31, 2019

It's a good thing when one fish recovers from years of unregulated fisheries, but when multiple fish recover after years of closing down a fishery...that's a HUGE conservation success. So why are they re-opening the fishery?

The MCHH crew discusses the story and why, as scientists and conservationists, we are hesitant about re-opening the fishery.
