Between 1950 and 2003, 90% of top predators in the oceans (tuna, shark etc.) disappeared.
Currently factory ships with nets up to 60 km (yes, sixty) long use sonar to find shoals of all types of fish. Many species are on the brink of extinction.
??If present trends continue, commercial fishing as we know it will have collapsed by the year 2050?. David Attenborough
What a great image but ...sad ...as sad as the predictions
amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! great shot!
That's not a shocking news... As all of us have been alerted continualy for many years... But somehow still never care.
Wow, cool!
You came up with a compelling image to go with the very unsettling statistics...
before reading your description i had not noticed the fish.
after reading your description i noticed the fish.
the same is with fishing.
when you fish, you don't notice how many fish you had taken
when you are not fish, you realize how many innocent fish you've killed in vain.
ok ok, even though i hate sharks because they eat people (people are succulent yummy yummy), we must have some consideration about the wild life...sad life, sad world!
A thought provoking shot....Jon.
Beautiful image
Perfect!
Pretty much a mess we make not being able to curb our appetites to have whatever we 'want'... good post.
This is an actual problem. Human being is becoming the ultimate predator distroying life on earth
Greast point, Ruth; and fantastic shot/post, Jon.
this is a thought provoking shot.. As population increases, more commercialism exist. These days there are a lot of restos and anything that has to do with making money. Nature is being abused by many of us and as long as people are happy and satisfied they wouldn't notice the suffering of Mother Nature until one day it will take its toll on us. Sad reality.
awesome colors in this pic! i love it
wonderful photo and interesting commentary !
This is a horrible thing... But as long as there is money in something, some people refuse to change what they are doing... Even if it, as in this matter, causes species to extinction...
It is a great shot anyway, really tells a lot together with the text.
A very important post! And a great photo!
Very thought provoking shot and commentary.
