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, the 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:
Our solution is to preserve the ocean ecosystems and global fisheries by ending overfishing, preserving marine ecosystems, and developing alternative measures to meet the nutritional needs of the international populace.
