In this special Spotlight forum, Nadia Mitsopoulos brings together an expert panel to explore WA's tough new demersal fishing restrictions:

Jackie Jarvis, Fisheries Minister
Melissa Haslam, CEO of the WA Fishing Industry Council
Dr Andrew Rowland, CEO of Recfishwest
Prof Jessica Meeuwig, UWA's Marine Futures Lab
Will they succeed in replenishing fish stocks? Were there alternatives that could have reduced the knock-on effects? And what's required in the long term?
