Fish stocks have recovered in the Summer Isles of Scotland about 10 years after a ban on industrial scallop dredging protected the island's pink maerl seaweed beds. Islanders say the ban has been the most amazing thing to happen to the community and its marine life. The maerl beds provide habitat that has helped marine life thrive. Local residents credit their own efforts to protect the seabed for the recovery.
