![]() Indonesia is one country which has a large area covered by the sea. Our knowledge tell us that 80% of the world's biodiversity lives in the sea and there is still much to be discovered. At least 100 million unnamed species live on the ocean floor alone. Yet beneath the ocean's surface there are constant scenes of absolute and utter destruction. It's a fact that the diversity of marine life is being systematically eroded by overfishing. We are bulldozing, scooping, sieving and raking our oceans for all their worth... And leaving nothing but a wasteland behind. Nowadays 75% of the world?s fisheries are fully or over exploited. Our insatiable demand for, and unscrupulous extraction of fish constitutes the single biggest threat to the overall health of the marine environment and its ability to support life on Earth. But there are ways and means to keep our oceans alive. At restaurant or at home, all you have to do is choose fish which are sustainable, avoiding endangered like Bluefin Tuna or North sea cod and prefer seafood labelled with the blue MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) logo. Take a stand against unsustainable fishing. photo source : google
