An infography that summarizes the current state of our oceans, with some alarming figures.
If the oceans are the source of all life, it may no longer be so very soon: the modern fishing (or rather “overfishing”) put the catch level at 2.5 times what would be necessary to species regeneration.
Other figures:
- for 1 billion people, fish is the main source of protein.
- 95,000 square miles of ocean are “dead zones” due to agricultural pollution
- The annual revenues from fish trade is $ 25 billion, including 10 for sole tuna. But it is estimated that the mismanagement of fisheries resources have lost $ 2.2 trillion of over 30 years. The calculation is quickly made: 750 billion gain vs to 2.2 trillion loss, not only we destroy the resource, but this is not even profitable!
