That would be this same Prof. Ray Hilborn I assume?

"Oregon marine reserves get a boost from Science Magazine study

Science magazine recently released a study led by Dr. Boris Worm of Dalhousie University and Dr. Ray Hilborn of the University of Washington, which finds that exploited fisheries are recovering in some areas of the ocean thanks to marine reserves and protected areas. "

You are probably right, close Stellwagen and we likely would have more fish around to beat on elsewhere. I'm just a bit surprised to learn you are on that guy's bandwagon.
