Running out of fish

by frog

Dot Earth has this short video, noting that our oceans are running out of fish.  Actually not just running out of fish but being profoundly stripped empty:

For more than a decade, marine scientists and communicators have been trying to convey just how profoundly the biological bounty of the seas has been stripped away in the last half century. Some have done so through field research showing extraordinary declines in fish populations and the way boats have had to venture ever farther from port to fill holds. Some, like Carl Safina and Richard Ellis, have written compelling books on the vanished and vanishing.
