that article is a joke. i am from the fishing industry in alaska and that article made no sense. most large fisheries are heavily monitored and regulated with sustainable quotas -- so its very irresponsible and misleading to use overly general language like "Seafood faces collapse"
many fisheries have been overfished before they were regulated... particularly on the east coast. thats not something that happened last week... its something that happened decades ago.
even something like this shows how mind numbingly stupid their report is:
"This century is the last century of wild seafood
Steve Palumbi "What we're highlighting is there is a finite number of stocks; we have gone through one-third, and we are going to get through the rest," he told the BBC News website."
there is nothing "finite" about seafood. in case anyone missed it in biology class... fish tend to have 1000s of babies ever year.
