**Our Oceans Are Being Emptied**

90% of large fish populations have vanished since 1950. We're fishing faster than oceans can recover, threatening marine life and billions who depend on the sea for food.

The time to act is NOW.

Political cartoon featuring a shark being shredded on a grater which turns into money falling into a bag labeled "Corporate Greed."

Throwback Thursday!! All the way back to Inktober 2025. 🤣

The art prompt for this was "Shredded." I'm a big fan of sharks and this popped into my head. 🦈🤘

Ocean heating and overfishing need to be tackled together | Letter The most troubling aspect of your report (Chronic ocean heating fuels ‘staggering’ loss of marine life, study finds, 25 February) is not only the scale of marine decline, but how easily it can be misunderstood. If short-term marine heatwaves create temporary gains in colder areas, institutions may mistake local improvement for broader recovery while the overall system continues to weaken. This is not an abstract environmental concern. Fish populations are tied directly to food security, coastal livelihoods and ecosystem stability. When long-term ocean warming steadily reduces biomass, this should be treated as a policy and public accountability issue as much as a scientific one. Climate policy and fisheries policy can no longer be managed separately. Governments should not point to isolated rebounds as evidence of success while ignoring the cumulative warming trend beneath them. A temporary rise is not recovery. In some cases, it may be what masks deeper collapse. The article rightly notes that overfishing remains a major driver of loss. That is precisely why this moment requires honesty. This is not a choice between overfishing and climate change. Both pressures are now reinforcing each other, and both must be addressed together...

Waitrose to suspend mackerel sales due to overfishing concerns The supermarket chain says it will stop sourcing fresh, chilled and frozen mackerel by 29 April.

Waitrose to suspend mackerel sales due to #overfishing concerns

Marine groups have recommended a cut in the amount of North East Atlantic mackerel being caught to prevent a collapse in population numbers.

Waitrose to suspend mackerel sales due to overfishing concerns The supermarket said it would stop sourcing fresh, chilled and frozen mackerel by 29 April, as well as tinned mackerel once their current stocks have been sold. Marine groups have recommended a cut in the amount of North East Atlantic mackerel being caught to prevent a collapse in population numbers. Waitrose said it was the first UK supermarket to suspend mackerel sales, adding it would only start selling the fish again once it met their "high sourcing standards". The International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES), which gives scientific advice on sustainable fishing, said that in recent years, mackerel has been overfished due to a lack of international quota agreements. As a result there is not a high enough rate of breeding to replace the volume being caught. More mackerel is caught in British waters than any other fish – in 2024 UK vessels landed more than 230,000 tonnes of the species. In December, the UK, Norway, the Faroe Islands and Iceland agreed to cut mackerel catches by 48%, but Waitrose said this did not go far enough. The grocery chain, which sources all its mackerel from Scottish waters, said that from May 2026, North East Atlantic mackerel...

Waitrose suspends sale of mackerel because of overfishing Waitrose has become the first UK supermarket to suspend the sale of mackerel because of overfishing and will start pointing customers toward herring and other species. The Marine Conservation Society warned last year that stocks were at breaking point owing to overfishing, and it downgraded mackerel from a three to a four on its five-point Good Fish Guide sustainability scale. Kerry Lyne, of the MCS, praised Waitrose’s move, saying: “To keep favourites like mackerel on the menu, we need support right across the supply chain with fishing kept within sustainable limits.” A University of East Anglia study published in January urged supermarkets to encourage customers to expand their fish diet to include more environmentally friendly and locally caught fish, such as herring and sardines. Last September, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) recommended that mackerel fishing in the north-east Atlantic be cut by 70% to help replenish numbers to a sustainable level following overexploitation. Responding to the data, Hugo Tagholm, the executive director of the enviromental charity Oceana UK, said: “This a clear warning that we are risking the total collapse of this population and endangering countless other wildlife species in the process.” In December, all...

Fish stocks in the northen hemisphere can drop as much as 20% (twenty percent) in a single year, due to chronic heating of the oceans.

Overfishing, pollution push coastal fishing to brink VLORA — Coastal fishermen warn the sector is sliding toward collapse as fish stocks fall sharply and enforcement fails. Veteran fishermen say global warming has had an impact, but blame human activity for the steep drop in fish in the Bay of Vlora. They say fishing rules are widely ignored, including seasonal bans during spawning periods. Illegal practices persist, including dynamite fishing. Environmental groups say large trawlers operate too close to shore, dragging long nets that damage the seabed and marine habitat. Explosions kill fish and contaminate the seabed with chemicals, affecting invertebrates that sustain the marine food chain. Fishermen also complain of limited state support, saying the sector remains neglected despite mounting losses...
