As a old salt - the oceans of our world were once bountiful. Yes I agree with Lacey that there is an overpopulation in the world, but seafood can be a managed and sustaning food source. This will only happen when the right "leadership" steps forwarded and woks with the fisherman of the world.

The problem here is with over population. People having 6-10-20 kids, all over the world, depletes the food sources. ack in the day when there were less people there were more food sources. The population growth in the world is taking over the open lands and pushing out the natural food sources. Heck the population growth in the USA has pushed our the farmers. Where there was once Orchards and farm land there are now Subdivisions!!!

Some seafood

Fisheries analysts at the U.N. Food and Agricultural Organization report that 70 percent of the world’s fisheries are fully or overly exploited, depleted or in a state of collapse. Fish like bluefin tuna and Atlantic salmon are severely overfished, and environmental groups are working to get them endangered species status. The overfishing of a particular species doesn’t damage that population alone — it can have serious effects further up the food chain and decrease biodiversity. Check out the Environmental Defense Fund’s seafood eco-ratings to determine what fish is safe for both you and our oceans.
