I’m sure that most of you heard about the news that says our seafood not last long. But it’s something confusing here. Is it 2048 or 2050? I searched on Google on the keyword “no more seafood“, and some website say that it’s 2050, and some say that it’s 2048. Anyone know which is the exact year?

In my opinion, we should try to stop the overfishing trend in order to still be able to enjoy seafood few decades later. What I could come out with is to stop eating seafood, or eat less of it. If no one bother to buy the seafood, the fisherman might stop overfishing. Maybe it’s just my stupid thought, as it won’t take any effect unless all of us co-operate.

To those who know nothing about this new, you can refer to the article below.

Clambakes, crabcakes, swordfish steaks and even humble fish sticks could be little more than a fond memory in a few decades. If current trends of overfishing and pollution continue, the populations of just about all seafood face collapse by 2048, a team of ecologists and economists warns in a report in Friday’s issue of the journal Science.

“Whether we looked at tide pools or studies over the entire world’s ocean, we saw the same picture emerging. In losing species we lose the productivity and stability of entire ecosystems,” said the lead author Boris Worm of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

“I was shocked and disturbed by how consistent these trends are — beyond anything we suspected,” Worm said.

No matter what, I have a feeling that there will still be seafood available by 2050. Maybe there will be new laws to control seafood products or there will be new way to increase the marine life population.
