and these guys want to do something about it.
and they are right they're severely over fished and full of crap. and there are a LOT of people who rely on them to eat and when there are no more fish they'll come somewhere for food (remember Ireland ?) and there will be nowhere to go. trouble brewing...
trouble is I have no faith that "science" can help as it's developed its own agendas.
we need to do something just don't know if this is it.
see what you think...

The World Bankwas on Friday to propose a coalition of governments, global organisations and other groups to protect the oceans, aiming to raise $1.5 billion in the next five years for the purpose.
World Bank president Robert Zoellick was to tell a global conference in Singapore that the new partnership would bring together various groups to confront problems of over-fishing, marine degradation and loss of habitat.
"The world's oceans are in danger, and the enormity of the challenge is bigger than one country or organisation," Zoellick, who is in Singapore for the World Oceans Summit, was expected to say, according to prepared remarks released by the World Bank ahead of his speech.
"We need coordinated global action to restore our oceans to health. Together we'll build on the excellent work already being done to address the threats to oceans, identify workable solutions, and scale them up."
"So today, I want to propose a new approach -- an unprecedented Global Partnership for Oceans," he added.
Zoellick said the coalition "will bring together countries, scientific centers, NGOs, international organisations, foundations and the private sector to pool knowledge, experience, expertise, and investment around a set of agreed upon goals."
