“Overfishing is an extremely serious environmental issue.
I’m sad to see people dismissive of it here.
Unfortunately the leftists have cried wolf over so many bogus issues that when a real issue comes along people don’t take it seriously.”
I’m with you. Anyone who pays attention at all to the world’s fisheries, or even just the price and availability of previously very cheap and abundant fish species, must be aware that we have already seriously impacted the stocks of some of these species. Atlantic cod, wild Atlantic salmon, halibut, some (most?) types of Pacific salmon, and many other species are already endangered or threatened. Apparently some people think the ocean’s supply of fish is unlimited and we are not able to harvest enough of it to seriously harm it.
If we kill all of the whales and polar bears, we ought to be able to “hold our own” in eating fish. We aren’t the only predators.
