    Sustaining fisheries is tough.  :p

    "Environmentally and economically, the results of overfishing are already proving disastrous.

    Several species of fish are on the brink of collapse. Fishing communities across Europe, including in the UK, have seen their livelihoods destroyed.

    And now scientists, environmentalists and, crucially, some fishermen, are calling for radical new measures. "

    hopefully they can defeat them in the courts to keep the mass fishing out of there, that would be a huge mistake to let the big fishing industries into any more areas since they do take and kill everything that lands in there nets
