No Fish Left to Catch

A recent study from an international team of researchers reports that if current trends continue, soon there will be virtually no fish left in the seas. One-third of the sea fisheries have already collapsed and the decline is accelerating.

All species in the sea are so closely dependent upon the other that destroying one element of biodiversity affects all the other parts. The only answer is more areas of the oceans need to be protected by banning or restricting fishing. Bottom trawling must be stopped to protect ecosystems as well.

This is extremely bad news which I hope will awaken all the powers that be and put them on notice that they must act now for the future. Scientists are telling us that this century may be the last century for wild seafood. How much more needs to be said?
