Investigation reveals global #fisheries are in far worse shape than we thought—and many have already collapsed
They studied 230 fisheries around the world. They found populations of many #overfished species are in far worse condition than has been reported, and the sustainability of fisheries was overstated. Urgent action is needed to ensure our oceans are not fished below their capacity to recover.

When fish are taken from our oceans faster than they can reproduce, their population numbers decline. This over-fishing upsets marine ecosystems. It's also bad for human populations that rely on fish for protein in their diets.

SAVE ENDANGERED ORCAS FROM NOISE POLLUTION

#SouthernResidentOrcas are starving, struggling to catch enough #food in an increasingly loud, #overfished, and polluted #ocean. With only 74 left, a single catastrophic event could wipe them out forever.

#NOAAFisheries designated critical habitat for Southern Residents in 2006, but it still hasn't limited #NoisePollution within these protected areas.
