KAHEA: the call to protect Hawaii nei

Empty Reefs

June 24, 2009 · Leave a Comment

From Alana:

This BBC News video shows how the growing demand for fish in places like inland China is putting a huge stress on coral reefs. Most adult fish have been caught, so the majority of fish sold in markets are juveniles that have not had a chance to reproduce yet. Because of this trend there has been a downward spiral in fish populations and reef health worldwide.

The world needs stricter fishing regulations ASAP, and if that doesn’t happen we will probably see theĀ  collapse of entire ocean ecosystems in our lifetimes.
