Fish in the Sea Are Not Just Crops to Harvest
- "Fish are not just crops that grow in the sea for us to harvest -- it doesn't work that way. Fish have important jobs to do, and when we remove them in numbers, they can't do those jobs. And we've seen time and time again that ecosystems collapse, especially coral reef ecosystems, when we upset that balance." - quote from scientist David Guggenheim of The Ocean Foundation; quote appeared in this NPR article.
