"No-fishing" zone revives sea life in UK
A bit of good news on the conservation front, especially if you're a lobster. An area around Lundy Island in the UK that was designated off-limits to fishing 5 years ago has shown that sea life can make a quick comeback if left alone.
The restriction was put into place principally to provide lobsters with a place where they could grow to maturity without fear of being trapped and thrown in a pot of boiling water, and it appears to be successful. Lobsters are 7 times more plentiful within the "no-take" zone than they are outside of it, with an especially high proportion of young lobsters.
