Dartmouth Associate Professor D.G. Webster's new book "Beyond the Tragedy" shows how fishermen continually exceed ecological and economic limits, often aided by regulators torn between fishing's economic benefits and environmental costs. But the book also documents recent trends that could help save ocean fisheries if consumers use their buying power to incentivize sustainability.
