Something Fishy, part 2
from The Briny
Conservation-minded regulations have cut New England's groundfishing fleet in half. But have they improved the health of the ecosystem?

And the quota system designed to protect those species creates a perverse incentive: fishermen are throwing dead fish overboard rather than landing them, further damaging the health of the stocks.
