Our global fish stocks are being depleted at a rate that is not only unsustainable, but will leave future generations with nearly no fish. Right now 10 high sea fishing nations catch more than 70 percent of fish in international waters. Researchers from Canada have crunched fishing data from high sea catches around the world and have discovered that a high sea fishing ban would both boost fish caught near shores and could increase fishing revenue on a per country basis by upwards of $200 million. A complete high sea fishing ban would benefit G8 nations and developing countries the most, as well as EU member states. A total ban might be a little far fetched, but drastic action needs to be taken to conserve our global fish stocks.
