 * 1) The total amount of fish we take from the system and consume is rising every year.
 * 2) In 2005 we consumed 95 million tones of fish.
 * 3) 86 million tones of this came from marine fisheries and 9 from inland fisheries. Fish farming accounted for another 50 million tones (43%) of production, indirect much of this was fed with the fish from the marine fisheries.
 * 4) In 1980 less than 10 percent of all fish came from fish farming.
 * 5) Over three quarters of our planet are covered by the oceans.
 * 6) Their biodiversity is unmatched and they contain over 80 percent of all life on earth, mostly unexplored
 * 7) Millions of people worldwide are depending on the oceans for their daily livelihood
 * 8) 52% Of fish stocks are fully exploited
 * 9) 20% are moderately exploited
 * 10) 17% are over exploited
 * 11) 7% are depleted
 * 12) 1% is recovering from depletion
 * 13) over 25% of the worlds fish stocks are either over exploited or depleted
 * 14) 52% is fully exploited, these is in danger of over exploitation
 * 15) 80% of the worlds fish stocks are fully or over exploited
 * 16) 90% of the stocks of large fish are fully gone
 * 17) Because of this, we are losing species and we are in risk of losing a valuable food source
 * 18) We aren't only affecting the fish in the ocean, we are also affecting the food web, which is affecting marine mammals, sea birds, sharks, larger fish, and us
 * 19) In 1992 in Newfoundland Canada, the once lively cod fishing industry came to a sudden stop and at the start of the fishing season, no cod appeared.
 * 20) As a result the overall ecological unity of our oceans are under stress and at risk of collapse
 * 21) Fishing fleets are at least two to three times as large as needed to take present day catches of fish and other marine species
 * 22) Scientists said that many important fish stocks will be removed form the system in 25 years
 * 23) Dr. Daniel Pauly describes "The big fish, the bill fish, the groupers, the big things will be gone"
 * 24) All the fishing nets are getting filled with jellyfish instead of fish
 * 25) If we help out, the ocean can be safe again
 * 26) Over a decade ago many people started buying dolphin-friendly tuna. Now the time has come to buy ocean friendly tuna.
 * 27) You can help by limiting the number of fish you catch
 * 28) The only way overfishing can be lowered, is if the government makes laws to help stop overfishing
 * 29) you may not always know what is in your food, for instance, there is traces of Dolphin in tuna
 * 30) The key parts in ecosystems need full protection from destructive fisheries

"Overfishing | Greenpeace International." //Inspiring Action for a Green and Peaceful Future | Greenpeace USA//. Greenpeace Online. Web. 21 Dec. 2010. .
 * 1) Estimated 100 million sharks and rays are killed each year by fishermen
 * 2) The regulation of the fishing industry is not very serious
 * 3) the ships used to catch fish are huge, as if they are floating factories. They hold freezers, packing plants, and engines to drag fishing gear in the ocean, the fish do not stand a chance
 * 4) Large amounts of top predators, are disappearing at a fast rate
 * 5) Large fish that we might eat for dinner have been fished out since the 50's (such as Tuna, Flounder, Cod, etc.)
 * 6) from this large amount of loss of fish can cause a shift in the entire ocean ecosystem
 * 7) The over exploitation and micromanagement of these fisheries have caused some fisheries to collapse
 * 8) Instead of trying to find solutions to these problems, fisheries are looking at the Pacific ocean for help
 * 9) Marine scientists suggested that overfishing could kill the oceans by 2050

Yanson, John M. "Overfishing." //See-The-Sea.org//. Web. 21 Dec. 2010. .
 * 1) Marine scientists believe that overfishing is more dangerous to the oceans than pollution to the oceans
 * 2) Between 1950 and 1994, fishing industry has increased the catch by 400%
 * 3) Humans are now fishing more than the ocean can produce
 * 4) In the waters surrounding the United States, the U.S. Department of Commerce listed 959 different fish stocks, of these nearly 1000 species, the status of 68.3% were listed as unknown; of the remaining 31.7%, almost one third are listed as overfished.
 * 5) The wild fish in our oceans are the last wild creatures that people hunt on a global scale.
 * 6) Sea lions, fur seals, and otters, as well as many types of bird are examples of other species that have been placed at risk as a result of overfishing.
 * 7) removing certain amounts of species endangers the marine ecosystem at risk of collapsing
 * 8) Overfishing causes financial problems as well
 * 9) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">According to the United Nations, one in every five humans depends on fish as the primary source of protein.
 * 10) one way you can help is by b<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">uying your seafood from fisheries using non destructive fishing techniques.
 * 11) <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; line-height: normal;">The fishing industry, governments, environmental scientists as well as consumers must all work together to learn how to stop destructive fishing and restore depleted fisheries.
 * 12) Properly managed, our oceans can continue to produce an abundant supply of fish indefinitely.
 * 13) In 1997-1998, the total global capture peaked at an estimated 93 million tons.
 * 14) some of the modern fishing techniques cause additional unintentional destruction.
 * 15) Because of the increasing in production, the urge for fish is bigger then ever
 * 16) If overfishing keeps going the way it is, the ocean will be gone soon

 * 1) Fishing is central to the livelihood and food security of 200 million people, especially in the developing world, while one of five people on this planet depends on fish as the primary source of protein
 * 2) Agriculture and overfishing is growing more rapidly than all other animal food producing sectors.
 * 3) Global main marine fish stocks are in jeopardy, increasingly pressured by overfishing and environmental degradation.
 * 4) The Johannesburg Plan of Implementation calls for the establishment of Marine Protected Areas
 * 5) many experts believe may hold the key to conserving and boosting fish stocks is to use the Johannesburg plan
 * 6) The magnitude of the problem of overfishing is often overlooked, given the competing claims of deforestation, desertification, energy resource exploitation and other biodiversity depletion dilemmas.
 * 7) The rapid growth in demand for fish and fish products is leading to fish prices increasing faster than prices of meat
 * 8) fisheries investments have become more attractive to both entrepreneurs and governments, much to the detriment of small-scale fishing and fishing communities all over the world
 * 9) Less than 1 % of the world’s oceans and seas are currently in MPAs
 * 10) In the last decade, in the north Atlantic region, commercial fish populations of cod, hake, haddock and flounder have fallen by as much as 95%, prompting calls for urgent measures
 * 11) over 70% of the world’s fish species are either fully exploited or depleted
 * 12) The dramatic increase of destructive fishing techniques worldwide destroys marine mammals and entire ecosystems
 * 13) illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing worldwide appears to be increasing as fishermen seek to avoid stricter rules in many places in response to shrinking catches and declining fish stocks
 * 14) oceans are cleared at twice the rate of forests
 * 15) sustainable fishing requires partnerships by and between governments, fishermen, communities and industry
 * 16) increased more than four times in the past 40 years
 * 17) In 2003, widespread overfishing was one of the major findings of the final report from the Pew Oceans Commission
 * 18) high-tech fishing fleets are the main cause for over fishing
 * 19) predatory fish populations, including shark, tuna, and North Atlantic cod, continue to spiral downward, with many species dropping 90% or more in the past 40-50 years
 * 20) 2004, the US Commission on Ocean Policy reported that "25% to 30% of the world's major fish stocks are overexploited
 * 21) Of the nation's 267 major fish stocks 20% are either already overfished, experiencing overfishing, or approaching an overfished condition
 * 22) In 2005, a study by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations found that global stocks of most fish are stretched to their limits
 * 23) Nearly a quarter of commercial species have already been over-exploited, with a total 70% of species now being fished close to, at, or beyond their capacity
 * 24) Many people around the world still use traditional, relatively low-tech approaches to fishing
 * 25) The big share of the fish being plucked from the world's oceans are caught by industrial fishing fleets
 * 26) Over the last few decades, commercial fishing boats have gotten super-sized and outfitted with an amazing array of sophisticated gear for locating fish
 * 27) companies and countries are competing for the world's fishes, and there is little incentive for any individual entity to catch fewer fish
 * 28) When thinking about possible solutions to the overfishing problem, it may initially seem that the problem is simply that we are pulling too many fish out of the sea
 * 29) All of the recent studies on our ocean problems recommend a comprehensive, ecologically based approach to fisheries management, not just simply trying to limit catch numbers
 * 30) one thing we can do to help is eat fish that are in danger
