World's biggest fish are dying

The U.N. reports that 75 percent of seafood species are maxed out or overexploited and catches of nearly a third of these species are less than 10 percent of what they once were. Ninety percent of the big fish -- sharks, tuna, swordfish -- are already gon

    Eating Tuna into extinction. I know how to fix it, lets ban seal products!

    Over-fishing is a real problem. This...

    The chemistry of the oceans is changing as they absorb 11 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide a year, and scientists say the acidifying waters will make it impossible for coral reefs, the nurseries of the sea, to grow. At the current rate of acidification, corals, sea snails and other calcium-carbonate-requiring life forms could begin to dissolve by the middle of the century, with potentially catastrophic results. Shellfish and fish will be in deep trouble as well.

    Ya, good point. How about we just dump all of our toxic waste into the ocean and hope for the best. Save everyone a whole bunch of money. :roll:

    We can do that, and keep eating fish. Hitting 2 birds with 1 stone.
    We get rid of our waste (cheap), and we die eating the fish (not being able to produce more waste).

    Awesome. Like wtf is a coral reef good for anyhow. Makes your feet bleed when you step on them. Burn them like we do the stubble fields and the rainforest.

    Make swimming a whole lot funner dodging trash instead of sharks and jellyfish. No one ever got stung by a scrap wooden pallet floating past the beach. :wink:

    Except carbon dioxide isn't "toxic waste". And they oceans aren't acidifying. Some are becoming slightly less alkaline. It's nothing the corals and fishlife around them haven't seen before.

    Interesting you should mention toxic waste though. One of your "the science" scientists did a study to show how the oceans were turning to acid. He used two bodies of water for his data. Both were having to deal with for-real toxic pollution (I think it was sewage), except he didn't mention that. The corals were dying. His study showed, with beautiful graphs, how acid oceans, he claimed were caused by man-made carbon dioxide were killing the corals. However...

    By coincidence the Australian government, I think it was, had been in the process of cleaning those bays of the sewage, if that's what it was, in the background, as part of a previous project. The bays got clean. The corals came back. Haven't heard anything from "the science" scientist about it since.

    Ocean conservation is rewarding because you absolutely can make a difference. You leave a fish population alone for a while, and it rebounds. The oceans are incredibly resilient. We have the opportunity right now to protect the oceans and the life they harbor for future generations.


    Ya, I think you are on the same page as these guys.

    I don't know how your cheeky comment "send money" helps the cause.

    Are you suggesting that the billions of tons of waste, toxic or not, are good for the ocean? Do you think that over fishing and pollution species out of existence is good for the eco system?

    Or are you too busy throwing around red herrings to satisfy some economic end that includes the exploitation of nature to the point of doom?

    Fishing or hunting animals to extinction is a valid point. Dumping and/or spilling waste or toxins (Exxon Valdez)into the ocean is not good, regardless of weather you think "slightly more acidic" is not a problem.

    Do you think slightly more smog in your city is good? How about slightly more toxins in your drinking water or at the beach you swim in. Really, a little more mercury in your drinking water is nothing a human child has not had to endure before. Relax. Just make sure it is your kid and not mine.
