Default Only 10 percent of big ocean fish remain

Where are the greens and environmental groups when governments and
businesses are really raping the planet.


To be honest the problem has been well aired by marine scientists for
decades. I don't think eco-green groups consider it much of a
moneyspinner.

I don't see the EU pressuring
anyone to cut their fishing fleets or doing any manful cuts in their own.


They have been trying for years, and introduced many cuts and
restrictions over the last decade or so. All bitterly fought by
fishermen who, with already marginal catches, are not well placed to
survive restrictions.

There is much cheating, particularly by spanish trawlers.
