Their catches are declining, and the stocks of key species, such as cod and bluefin tuna, are but a small fraction of their previous abundance, while others have been overfished almost to extinction. The oceans are depleted and the commercial fishing industry increasingly depends on subsidies to remain afloat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn these essays, award-winning biologist Dr. Daniel Pauly offers a thought-provoking look at the state of today's global fisheries--and a radical way to turn it around. Starting with the rapid expansion that followed World War II, he traces the arc of the fishing industry's ensuing demise, offering insights into how and why it has failed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith clear, convincing prose, Dr. Pauly draws on decades of research to provide an up-to-date assessment of ocean health and an analysis of the issues that have contributed to the current crisis, including globalization, massive underreporting of catch, and the phenomenon of \"shifting baselines,\" in which, over time, important knowledge is lost about the state of the natural world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally, \u003cem\u003eVanishing Fish\u003c\/em\u003e provides practical recommendations for a way forward--a vision of a vibrant future where small-scale fisheries can supply the majority of the world's fish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDaniel Pauly, \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003ePhD\u003c\/strong\u003e is an esteemed researcher who, in 1995, coined the term \"shifting baselines.\" A professor at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC, he directs the Sea Around Us, an initiative devoted to studying and mitigating the impact of fisheries on the world's marine ecosystems.
