    Fisheries worldwide on the brink of collapse, because of over fishing says WWF

    Marco Lambertini, director general of WWF International said mismanagement was pushing “the ocean to the brink of collapse”.

    The amount of fish in the oceans has halved since 1970, in a plunge to the “brink of collapse” caused by over-fishing and other threats, the WWF conservation group said on Wednesday.Populations of some commercial fish stocks, such as a group including tuna, mackerel and bonito, had fallen by almost 75%, according to a study by WWF and the Zoological Society of London, ZSL.
