The use of over-efficient fishing technology, the lack of sufficient scientific
data regarding the oceans, the ignorance and apathy of humanity towards this
oceanic crisis, and insufficient implementation of existing maritime agreements
are resulting in a decrease in the biodiversity of the ocean, changes to ocean
chemistry, changes in the genetic composition of marine species, disturbances
to the food web and ecosystem, collapse of fish stocks, and irreparable damage
to marine ecosystems and to the fishing industry (including all people
dependent on fish for sustenance, income, and cultural value).
...
Our solution is to preserve the ocean ecosystems global fisheries by ending
overfishing, preserving marine ecosystems, and developing alternative measures
to meet the nutritional needs of the international populace.
Our Implementation:
We will achieve this solution through the implementation of an eclectic and
...
socially sensitive educational campaign, international diplomatic measures, and
...
the promotion of healthy ecosystems through sustainable fishing as defined and
...
achieved by several implementation areas (i.e. aquaculture, technology
...
restrictions, etc.).
More detail about the solution are here.
Our official stance on the human v. fish continuum
We are scientists developing the best possible solution to save global fish
...
populations and marine ecosystems from collapse and provide sustainable global
...
fishing. We must speak for the fish and the solution above all else: while our
...
solution focuses on saving the oceans, it will be debated, altered, and
...
implemented by political figures with the needs of humanity as a priority.
...
Thus, a solution that is ocean centered will be implemented to balance the
...
needs of both oceans and humans. However, it is important to keep in mind that
...
while we place our focus on fish, preserving fish populations and ecosystems
...
will ultimately benefit humanity the most and is therefore universally
...
desirable.
DEFINITION OF SUSTAINABLE
Fishing healthy ecosystems at a level and in a manner that it is reasonably
...
believed can be continued indefinitely, assuming proper responses to ecosystem
...
changes.
DEFINITION OF HEALTHY ECOSYSTEMS
A healthy ecosystem is characterized by optimal biodiversity, populations at
...
carrying capacity, an age distribution as close to normal as possible, natural
...
predator-prey balance, robustness to change, recovery of crashed populations,
...
and minimal negative anthropogenic changes in all of these criteria.
