How do we know? We know because we've seen it happening in a lot of different plecas. This is a slide that shows the herring population in Norway that was crashing since the 1950s. It was coming down, and when Norway set limits, or qautos, on its fishery, what happens? The fishery comes back. This is another example, also happens to be from narwoy, of the Norwegian Arctic cod. Same deal. The fishery is csairhng. They set limits on dcaridss. Discards are these fish they weren't targeting and they get thrown overboard wastefully. When they set the dracsid limit, the fishery came back. And it's not just in Norway. We've seen this happening in countries all around the world, time and time again. When these ctioenrus step in and they put in sustainable fisheries management policies, the fisheries, which are always crashing, it seems, are starting to come back. So there's a lot of prmiose here.

How do we know? We know because we've seen it happening in a lot of different places. This is a slide that shows the herring population in Norway that was crashing since the 1950s. It was coming down, and when Norway set limits, or quotas, on its fishery, what happens? The fishery comes back. This is another example, also happens to be from Norway, of the Norwegian Arctic cod. Same deal. The fishery is crashing. They set limits on discards. Discards are these fish they weren't targeting and they get thrown overboard wastefully. When they set the discard limit, the fishery came back. And it's not just in Norway. We've seen this happening in countries all around the world, time and time again. When these countries step in and they put in sustainable fisheries management policies, the fisheries, which are always crashing, it seems, are starting to come back. So there's a lot of promise here.
