Re-interpreting the Fisheries Crisis

Popular literature and the pages of Science and Nature have reported on the collapse of the world's fisheries.

In this program, Ray Hilborn discusses changes in objectives of fisheries management, ones with more concern about ecosystems and profitable fishing industries, and how there are many successful sustainable fisheries in the world from which we can learn.
