Description:

Stephen Sloan examines the attitudes and actions of various countries, fishermen, and consumers, all lobbying for greater allocations while the supply is being rapidly depleted.
Sloan proves that the oceans are being depleted three times faster than is reported by scientists
by using simple formulas that address what the numbers mean in an ecological sense,
and whether they match up with those found in statistical reports. Sloan’s story features the accounts of international meetings of government delegations, lobbyists, special interest groups, and nongovernmental environmental organizations, along with other fisheries groups. The book will appeal to the large number of people who are concerned about the health of our oceans, and ultimately, the health of our planet.
