Good News! :>
Countries discussed a 20 year ban on fishing on 30% of the worlds ocean to preserve fish stocks. This is a vast increase from the 0.8% that was previously protected.
Currently [2009], 75% of the worlds fisheries are depleted of fishes, so this is a timely measure to protect the world's ocean from large scale commerical fishing.
