Within half a century we will not be eating seafood or have any fish to fish for. The plentiful fish population will soon be rare with a tremendous decline in population. After studying for more than 50 years, marine biologist, Boris Worm, and his team of 13 researchers have reached a conclusion. This compelling discovery of the decline in fish population due to overfishing is now a problem we need to address.
The whole ocean will be empty by the half mark in the century. 29% of fish species have become extinct and is still increasing. Half of marine life caught by fishers are discarded but the ecosystems are taken away from their biological diversity making it far more likely to decline rapidly. Popular fish like cod and tuna have been fished out of existence according to Boris Worm and his researchers. Fish exports have been increasing over the past three decades. The fish have spiked the interest of many people due to their health benefits. Fish and shrimp farms are now falling short. The decline in fishes are going to affect the life of many.
The fish numbers may be going down but we are willing to help. With the decline in fish population, this discovery is an issue that is now almost solved. The solution is sustainable seafood for the world. Fishes have a huge impact on business, jobs and health.
