Overfishing - A Global Crisis

[MJGenius11]

Sighhhhhh.....wait till all the sea creatures is gone......just wait.............in the end...humans will suffer the consequences themselves. Everybody continue eating fish is because there is not a great awareness of overfishing. The television is always showing all the advertisements of products, but very few or none at all advertise on the world social issues on TV. Broadcast this video. More people will then know. Now only 11,000 know about this overfishing issue.

At some point, nature will have it's way and many of us will perish.

THE WIGGLY ONE

[eriblood]

@SWEJEHTKCUF Fuck you!! The whites are the main cause of all the disaster all over the world dirty bitch!!!!

[CrazyCoffeCrisp]

sure, think about it this way idiot, shark population is greatly declining, so why the hell is the fish population still going down if sharks are too, tell me that! The world was fine until we came along and I can tell you for a fact that whites have been here way longer than humans.

[1nerdykid]

@CrazyCoffeCrisp yea the food chain is very complex, and I think we forget to include humans. Because there are less sharks, more people are hunting down large fish. When they are gone we will have to eat sardines, then jellyfish if no action is taken. Peace.

humans are not responsible enough to exist on a planet with the animals

biladan, buy the cans without dolphin friendly print ? I catch whats in those cans !!!!

[strikenetter]

bilidan, obviously you have not read about the harmful effects of farm raised seafood. Its getting better, yet there are still some concerns. Spreading disease to wild fish, using wild fish as food for farm raised fish. Thats just like pouring clean water into a sewer and then drinking it. Why use wild caught fish for fish feed when you can eat the wild fish. Moreover, the harvestation of wild fish for farm raised fish is a double negative. 2 x the harvestation !

[strikenetter]

Pressure for sustainability by large supermarkets on their suppliers ? The only pressure can come from the consumer, the supermarket does not care whether seafood is sustainable, they only care about profit. If you live in the US, you should know all seafood sold in a large supermarket is IMPORTED ! Unsustainable in most cases. Yes, farm raised seafood is available also ! 80 % of all seafood bought sold and consumed in the US is IMPORTED, UNSUSTAINABLE !!!

[strikenetter]

from only big supermarkets biladan ? this is where your imported seafood comes from which is the most unsustainable !! Learn the truth about the seafood products you purchase. Dolphin friendly means nothing printed on a can !

[biladan]

read the rest of the sentence strikenetter, what I mean is clearly, "we should purchase only from the large supermarkets which put pressure to their suppliers about responsible/sustainable farming, and we sould not purchase from the others"... Marks&Spencer in UK is doing a good job in this regard, majority of their porducts is not "wild/line caught" but "farmed" instead... OK you go ahead and buy the cans without dolphin friendly print... I don't care..

[biladan]

thanks for the vid. I think we -the consumers- have the biggest responsibility... We should look for "responsibly farmed" or "dolphin friendly" logo on the products, and we should purchase from only big supermarkets those of which can put presssure on their suppliers... Imagine millions of consumers asking only responsibly farmed products from supermarkets... that may change something...I wish..

[strikenetter]

The people trying to put me out of business are not giant corporate fishing machines ! They are agencies, CCA, NMFS, RFA, etc. ! But thanks for replying to my comments !

[strikenetter]

Trust me, your children will have future opportunities to enjoy resourceful fishing if big industry and reckless harvesting pertaining to commercial fishing is abandoned ! Government employed biologists are actually creating waste in our fishing industry, making us catch "bycatch" in order to sell financially feasible species of fish ! Can elaborate if you wish, yet i feel you will decline to bother, since the truth isn't what you seek !!!

@strikenetter

Dear Strikenetter, I've read some of your comments here and rest assured only a few a-holes are trying to take your livelihood away and, more than not, they probably work with those big corporate fishing machines. But what I'm not interested in is having a conversation while I should be putting my efforts in stopping industrial fishing, or save something else. I'm more than happy to hear your tales in a different context.

[strikenetter]

There are many types of commercial fishing that are very safe, no bycatch, turtle or dolphin mortality yet these practices are becoming extinct due to the implementation of laws driving these methods to extinction. Sustainable seafood ? My method of fishing is one of the most selective methods yet im being but out of business while these industrial ships continue to fish. Think about this ! The government could fix many problems regarding our business.

Please note that some forms of aquaculture can provide enough fish protein to reduce pressure on the oceans, even while providing a source of organic fertilizer for growing food. Gone is the pollution associated with conventional aquaculture. Check out aquaponics, the farm of the future.

[gregoreeezy]

wat

[HarlequinnJester]

@AquaponicDave Aquiculture has some flaws though. if its close to shore it can cause concentrated pollution of fish fecaes. And for some farms need a good couple of pounds of wild caught fish to feed one predatory fish. Its a start towards a sustainable future, but needs alot more work.

[nesion]

omg, touching... :D

[heavenlyllama]

simply wonderful it made me cry

[ttdtheterm3]

[brownkid3]

[gregoreeezy]
