1.Only two areas did not have an overfishing problem in either the new study or the earlier one.
either...or...意为"或者……或者……；不是……就是……"之意。表示两者之一，连接句子中两个并列的成分。例如：
When the girl is happy, she either sings or dances. 那个女孩高兴时，不是唱就是跳。(此句中either...or...连接两个动词，因为主语是单数第三人称，谓语动词要用其相应的形式。)
either...or...连接两个主语时，其谓语动词应与最近的一个主语在人称和数上保持一致，这就是我们通常说的"就近原则"。例如：
Either you or I am going there tomorrow. 明天要么你去那里，要么我去那里。
注意：如果把上句变成一般疑问句，助动词形式与主语you保持一致，所以要用are提问，而不是am。例如：
Are either you or I going there tomorrow? 明天是你还是我去那里？
2.Using nets that let smaller fish escape and agreeing not to fish in certain areas can help reduce overfishing.
let的用法
1）当let后只有一个单音节动词，变被动语态时，可用不带to 的不定式。
They let the strange go.---> The strange was let go.
2） 若let 后宾补较长时，let 通常不用被动语态，而用allow或permit 代替。
The nurse let me go to see my classmate in the hospital.
----> I was allowed / permitted to see my classmate in the hospital.
