This is what it looks like when thousands of fishing boats are allowed to set sail again from Zhoushan in the coastal province of Zhejiang after a three-month fishing moratorium. Why this moratorium? Fishing vessels from the entire region must dock and take a three-month break to allow fish stocks in the East China Sea to recover, at least to some extent. This helps – but still does little to change the fundamental problem that China’s neighboring seas are all completely overfished.
