Our Problem:

Oceans are being depleted due to the continuous exploitation of fish species and global environmental crisis. These lead to a decrease in the biodiversity of the ocean, changes in the composition of water (for example salinity), changes in the genetic composition of marine species, and disturbances to the food web and ecosystem. This is further aggravated by the use of over-efficient fishing technology, the lack of sufficient scientific data regarding the oceans, invasive species, and the ignorance and apathy of people towards this oceanic crisis.  

Our Solution: 

Our solution is to preserve global fisheries by ending overfishing, preserve marine ecosystems, and developing alternative measures to meet nutritional needs.  

More detail about the solution are here.
