posted on 2023-05-17, 17:06 authored by Pauly, D, Reginald WatsonReginald Watson
The article discusses the sustainable management of fisheries. New analysis show that fisheries worldwide are in danger of collapsing from overfishing. Overfishing results from booms in human populations, increases in the demand of fish as a nutritious food, improvements in commercial fishing technology and global and national policies that fail to encourage the management of fisheries. The solutions to this problem are also discussed.
