But Atlantic fish stocks are now between 1/1,000 and 1/10,000 of what they were just 150 years ago.

Trawling has reduced to mud, to parking lot, a greater area of the ocean floor than the area of forests cut down in the history of humanity.
Over hunting and fishing, habitat loss, invasive species, pollution and now climate change.
None of these things happen in a vacuum, but there are synergies among them which make the whole vastly greater than the sum of the parts.
We are a water planet and as goes the ocean go we.
Climate change is a hoax
