I'm still disappointed however that there is not greater public awareness about the problems of over-fishing. Infact, I'd go as far as to say there is zero public awareness about where fish actual come from. It sounds silly I know, but fish is consistently touted as a healthy food and how we should eat more and more fish because it's good for you. Correct, it may be good for us, but it's simply not sustainable to eat more and more. I'm always surprised when I ask my friends where they think the fish they're eating came from and they're nearly all unaware that there even was huge problem with fish stocks. I mean come one, Pacific Bluefin tuna has declined by 96%!!! and it's a similar story for North Sea Cod.
There should be a greater focus on 'sustainable managed fisheries' vs open sea fishing, in the same way as people are aware of the difference between factory farming and free range.
also, it wouldn't hurt if everyone ate a little less fish (and meat for that matter)
