Overfishing
industrialized fisheries. Scientists agree that at current exploitation rates many important fish stocks will
be removed from the system within 25 years.
WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP?: Every long-term successful and sustainable fishery, near-shore or
high-seas, needs to be managed according to some basic ground rules: Safe catch limits, Controls on
bycatch, Protection of pristine (pristiin) and important habitats, Monitoring and Enforcement
(inforsment). It's fair to say that individuals cannot solve this global problem all by ourselves, we need
politicians to strengthen international law. What we can do is make a difference. Over a decade (dekeid)
ago many people started buying dolphin-friendly tuna. Now the time has come to buy ocean friendly
tuna. Here are some of the actions you yourself can undertake. What everybody can do to help
overfishing: Be informed, Know what you eat, Spread the word.
