"The declining state of marine fisheries is one of the top issues,
if not THE top marine conservation issue today". Prompt and effective
action at all levels is needed to reverse this trend. Thomas Huxley
wrote in 1883 that "all the great sea-fisheries are inexhaustible."
Today we know that this is not true, and that pressures from a fast-growing
human population has severely depleted many fisheries around the globe.
The United Nations estimates that 11 of the world's 15 most important
fishing areas are either fully fished or are overexploited. Also, some
fish, such as many shark and rockfish species are so depleted that commercial
extinction might be just around the corner."
Robert Mazurek has been a fisheries biologist and science writer with
the Monterey Bay Aquarium since March 2000. Before joining the Aquarium,
Robert was the science writer in the communications office at California
State University-Monterey Bay. He has also written feature science articles
for publications such as Popular Science, Smithsonian, The Boston Globe,
New Scientist, and Rodale's Scuba Diving Magazine, among many others.
Robert also lead a team of biologists from the University of California's
Predatory Bird Research Group, in reintroducing peregrine falcons back
into Lake Tahoe Basin National Forest.

As for declining fish
populations, acording to the National Marine Fisheries Service,
over 70% of fish populations are either fully fished or overfished.
As populations are growing we are eating more fish and there are
not enough left to sustain out appetites. |

| 00:45:22 |

Right, they are on
the top trophic level. But the major reason sharks are overfished
is because they are long-lived, sometimes not reproducing until
they are 10 or 12 years of age. And they reproduce very few young.
|
| 00:45:31 |
strongarm85 |
becouse they're easy

i think we should

all can see all differ kinds of animals or sea animals |
| 00:46:25 |
Robert |
Salmon are very sustainable.
The reason is that most states use hatcheries to replenish populations.
In Alaska over 3 billion salmon are grown in hatcheries and released
every year into the ocean |
| 00:46:26 |
strongarm85 |
if its spawning season
its as easy as walking over and picking them up at time |

probably pretty low,
but including shellfish it has to be big |
| 00:48:32 |
Robert |
In most cases sharks
are not more agressive than other fish. If you dive with sharks
you quickly realize this and get over your fear. There are only
3 or 4 species of sharks that have been known to attack people.
And that's out of over 50 different species. |

well that is a huge
generalization |
| 00:50:40 |
Jeff M |
if we killed off shrimp,
it would be awful. but they are lower in trophic level, and reproduce
more rapidly, so are probably better than some larger fish for consumption
|

In most cases no fisheries
target sharks. they are mostly caught as bycatch in other fisheries.
Does anyone know what bycatch means? |

Somebody mentioned
shrimp. Shrimp are plentiful, but they way we catch them is very
distructive. We scrape large nets across the bottom of the ocean
and destroy the habitat of many different organisms. For ebryone
1 pound of shrimp that ends up on the dinner table, about 10 pounds
of other fish are killed in the process. |

Most fisheries can be fished sustainably if regulations are in place
and enforced. |

It depends on what
fish you are talking about. But the bottom line is there are a lot
of regulations, but no one is enforcing them. It's a big ocean out
there and it's tough to watch everyone fishing. |

the guide, keep it in your wallet and use it! |
