How can we get people to be more aware of overfishhing? Im chinese, and you know how much fish means to asians, who have been living off fish since they could fish(for their nutrients of course, at the time...), and one day i tried to tell my parents about overfishing..they looked at me and said the sea will never run out of fish...Well unfortunately, probably contrary to popular belief, fish are being fished to extinction. There are over 6.5 billion people in the world, and maybe at least 3-4 billion people rely on fish. How can we get the world out to all these people, expecially Japan, who slaughters fish and even dolphines? Can we get people, expecially in asian, to chance their traditions and cultures of relying on fish? They gotta understand it would be better for humanity and the earth if we let the sea replenish itself, and the sea does not have an unlimited supply of resources. This is just as important as fossil fuels and forests. For the sake of future generations, can we get people to be more aware of overfishing?

It would be such a terrible pity if all the fish are gone.

Thats why we have a restriction on how much of each kind we can catch.

saying the world will run out of fish is like saying the world will run out of cows because we eat too many of them. If there are less fish the price at restaruants will go up and less people will eat fish its not like they are all going to have a steep drop in numbers overnight.
