NYTimes.com: Until All the Fish Are Gone

jan 21st, 2008

a very serious issue: the oceans are dying, not only from overfishing, but also from all the plastic junk that ends up there.

i was listening to a gent by name of callum roberts on a podcast. he is a marine scientist and the picture he paints is frightening: area after area of the sea and species after species is collapsing. the only answer is a complete moratorium on fishing as well as oil drilling and tourism in certain preserves which should be left pristine. this will help the rest of the sea recover as well.
