Answer 3

We are overfishing almost every ocean species, we need to limit what people catch so your children will not have an empty ocean in 50 years. The reason the fleets are getting smaller is there are fewer fish to catch, so it takes more time and expense to get them, it is not as profitable as it used to be, so people have gone out of business.

A great example is the CA coastal sea urchin, in the 70's people were paid to get rid of as many as possible because they were threatening our kelp forests. The fishers found a market in Japan and when it  became profitable many people came and harvested to the point of scarcity. The state had to put limits on the harvest and limit areas to be harvested and businesses needed to get certified, the number of people harvesting dramatically decreased. Now we have a small number of fishers harvesting in a sustainable way.
