FOCUS: Overfishing -- Local to Global

As usual, totally fascinating and a useful resource, but overwhelming and depressing.

"According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, overfishing is leading to a humanitarian and ecological crisis.

The report finds that over 70 percent of fish species are being caught at a rate faster than they reproduce, leading to the near-depletion of many commercial fish stocks."

Short term individual gain triumphs again...
