Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International said: ‘In the space of a single generation, human activity has severely damaged the ocean by catching fish faster than they can reproduce while also destroying their nurseries.
‘Profound changes are needed to ensure abundant ocean life for future generations.
‘We are in a race to catch fish that could end with people starved of a vital food source and an essential economic engine. ‘Overfishing, destruction of marine habitats and climate change have dire consequences for the entire human population, with the poorest communities that rely on the sea getting hit fastest and hardest.
‘The collapse of ocean ecosystems could trigger serious economic decline – and undermine our fight to eradicate poverty and malnutrition.’
Sorry, I still chuckle every time I see 'WWF.' I'm trying to picture King Kong Bundy as an environmental advocate.
