"Nothing compares with the colour, variety and excitement of fish and fishing, the last hunted food.
At the same time as fisheries have come under more pressure, the politics ... have pushed many stocks below their sustainable levels. The economic safety valve of declining fish stocks becoming too expensive to catch and being left alone to recover doesn’t seem to work any more."
