Nutrient pollution is proliferating algae.
Algae epiphyte growth and invasive algae has destroyed the majority of the ocean’s seagrass food web nurseries.
More than 30 years of fishing restrictions including introduction of 200 mile offshore economic zones have failed to prevent fish stock devastation, ongoing devastation.
Even when fishing stops or is reduced, most fish populations are not recovering.
Fish are not immune to starvation.
Generally, animals do not breed during food shortage and starvation.
There is no scientific evidence proving overfishing is the cause of world fish depletion, even though over 90 percent of the big fish have already gone, since 1950. http://news.nationalgeographic.com.au/news/2003/05/0515_030515_fishdecline.html
Evidence indicates small fish populations are also generally and seriously devastated.
Ocean ecosystem water quality seems virtually ignored by politicians.
AGW and IPCC science has not measured and assessed photosynthesis-linked warmth in ocean algae plant matter proliferated by unprecedented sewage and land use nutrient overload pollution.
Solar warmth in ocean algae is apparently not being scientifically noticed , even in Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea waters where ice is reported melting more than usual.

Inappropriate ‘solutions’ are wasting time while real causes and impact and solutions, and opportunities are not being addressed.
