Fish currently supply the greatest percentage of the world's protein consumed by humans. This fact may soon change, however, given that most of the world's major fisheries are being fished at levels above their maximum sustainable yield and many regions are severely overfished. More than 70% of the world's fisheries are overexploited, which threatens the health, economy, and livelihoods of communities all over the world. The global fishing fleet is estimated to be 250% larger than needed to catch what the ocean can sustainably produce.

i agree, the marine environment would totally perish if this amount of fishing is continued.
true, philippines is currently experiencing this kind of problem.
really? this never came into my mind. hehe
there should be a limit of fishing for a period of time so the population of the sea may restore.
dont care, i dont eat seafood!!!
i thought philippines is rich in marine life?=(
stop illegal fishing, its the main reason!
this could really be hard to restore...
yup. philippines is one of the countries which are overfished.
is this true?
The people who are making a living out of fishing are greatly affected. We should limit fishing to save some for the future.
