A new report is saying that we could overfish seafood out of existence by 2048 if we don't take measures to operate in a more responsible, sustainable way.

It is all caused by the corn lobby.

I saw show about some Canadian communities ruined by overfishing years ago in the 90s. Even if government regulatory agencies have a good picture of the situation, they are being pushed and pulled in many directions and you often get a "Tragedy of the Commons".

Cool fact about the oysters in that article...

Never tried oysters.

...and I get laughed at for being a fisheries biology major.

then we should all support and shop at Wal-Mart who's the only medium or large distribution outlet that requires their farmers to operate in a self-sustaining way.
