National Geog. "Watery Wasteland" (tuna)

[Pablo2079]

Pretty sobering article in the April edition of National Geographic. It focuses on the increasing fishing pressure the oceans are under, especially the bluefin tuna.

Here's a slide show presentation on it.

I seen that documenty on TV a while back, that is old footage and they indicated this was not done anymore and one of the fisherman now runs an eco tourist buisness. Still heartbreaking to see. But whats this in the paper the other day about Japan coming back from antarctic with 500 plus whales?
