For centuries we've treated the oceans as an infinite source of food.
We've dropped our lines, nets, and traps into the vast blue water.
We survived off the bounties of this underwater world we knew so little about.
Since the beginning we've fished.
It started off with fishing lines, small nets, or spears.
It started off selectively. Fishers could control what they caught, how much they caught.
The oceans remained vast and unharmed. The human hand did not reach far into it's depths.
We've come a long way since those early days of fishing.
Our technology has increased exponentially along with our worldwide demand for
fish that stretches far beyond the shorelines. We now have bottom trawlers,
longlines, massive nets, and even fish farms. Our greedy arms reach further into
the depths we have yet to explore. We take from the ocean without knowing how much it has to give.
But the fish are running out.
90% of all large fish are gone.
This includes sharks, tuna, swordfish, marlin, cod, halibut, skates and flounder.
But also sea turtles, manatees, whales, seals, and sea lions. And many more.
Every large predator in the ocean has been depleted on average by 90%.
This number seems crazy. How could humans have such a dramatic impact on the oceans?
To explain this, we have to learn a little more about fishing practices.
