Fortunately, scientists are figuring out ways to fish sustainably. One method is a quota system that guarantees individual fishermen or cooperatives a prearranged share of the total catch for, say, Alaskan halibut. These catch shares eliminate the incentive to overfish. And a recent study in Science found that catch shares can halt fishery collapses--defined as fish populations falling to 10% of historic highs--and even reverse the trend over time. "It's truly a win-win situation," says Steven Gaines, a marine biologist at the University of California at Santa Barbara and one of the study's co-authors...

While the two ear "pillows" - both detachable and adjustable - are intended to block sound, I was glad the package came with real ear plugs. The fleece-covered foam cushions did offer a slight additional buffer to noise, however, and they were definitely pillow-like - perfect for those awkward head...
