Efforts to curb overfishing in five of the world's marine ecosystems are starting to show signs of working.
The news comes from a multi-national study on the status of marine fisheries and ecosystems reported in "Science".
While the report found that stock collapse is an increasing international trend, the scientists involved believe there are positive signs that rebuilding the ocean's depleted fish stocks is possible.
The two year study looked at ten marine ecosystems, evaluating how much marine life was being fished and which management techniques have been used to rebuild depleted stocks. It is a follow-up to a 2006 paper that highlighted a widespread global trend toward fisheries collapse that led to disagreement among the scientific community.
