Plenty more fish in the sea ?

Not really....

I have spent the last few days working on some resources for a project with the splendid folks from Digital Explorer.

The resources will be published shortly, and are on the theme of sustainable fishing.

On July 7th, the EU basically 'runs out' of fish that have been (or can be) caught in EU waters, and begins to deplete the stocks from oceans in other parts of the world...

The EEA have produced this map and data sheet providing plenty more information on the fisheries that are being overfished i.e. being fished beyond their sustainable biological limit.

Coincidentally, the GUARDIAN produced a video looking at the work of a fisherman called John Griffin (my brother in law has the same name, but it's not him) who fishes out of Hastings.
