The marine ecosystem is as sensitive as that above the water surface yet due to our biological limitations we have less knowledge about it. What we do know however is that going below the critical depensation level not only makes fish populations go extinct but it also effects the marine ecosystem to which they belong.

Over 80 % of the fisheries are exploited and if we wish to have some fish left for the 3 billion of us who rely on fish for food and to have a functioning marine ecosystem we need to accept the limits . Limits in fish population and limits of the sea to receive waste.

For god’s sake can we stop throwing plastic in the water and help us help the marine environment so that we together with the fish in the sea can flourish within limits. References and quotes Next encouragement
