Outcomes: Fisheries management achieves limited environmental outcomes: all species that can be fished are held at population sizes significantly below pristine levels under current management systems. Trophic structures in the oceans are heavily impacted—ecosystem resilience to trophic impacts, cumulative impacts and potential time to recovery are uncertain
