Overfishing Source 1

See link here

Around the world, the farming and catching of marine organisms are higher than any other food producing source. Amidst this production success, however, is the rapid decline of fish. This is due to overfishing and environmental degradation. Entire fisheries are being depleted, which is a major threat to the food supply of millions. The increase of destructive fishing techniques is also seen as the cause. The FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) states that 70% of the all fish species are either exploited or depleted. The depletion of fisheries calls for an increase of Marine Protected Areas (MPA), according to the Johannesburg Plan of Implementation. This is because of the fact that less than 1% of the world's ocean and sea areas are MPAs. The Johannesburg Forum calls for nations to ratify the Convention for the Law of the Sea as well as other tools to promote maritime environment survival and restoration.

Things that would have helped to know while reading the article would be:
1. What is the Convention for the Law of the Sea?
2. What other solutions would restore fisheries besides increasing MPAs?
3. What species are being exploited the most? How can we reduce our dependency on that species?
4. If we cannot reduce, how do we insure its survival?
