As our world surges toward a global population of 9.9 billion by the year 2050 - the need to feed all those people is spiking too. That’s putting unprecedented stress on our fisheries. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization indicates that already “58% of the world’s fish stocks are being fished at or beyond sustainable levels.” The reasons are many – but it boils down to too many boats chasing too few fish, creating a classic “tragedy of the commons.”
Join Safina Center Writer-in-Residence Paul Greenberg and other experts including John Kerry and Daniel Pauly in a special 90-minute live event. The PBS NewsHour will explore the connections between climate change, warming oceans, migrating fish populations, the economic stressors facing fishermen and the fishing industry, bad actors on the high seas, and ever-growing seafood demand.
