“…the majority of world’s commercially important marine fisheries have already either collapsed to the point of being commercially extinct, have been severely depleted, are currently over fished or fished to the limit, are recovering only slowly from past over fishing or are otherwise in urgent need of management. Among the most important fisheries that have already collapsed are: Atlantic halibut, Atlantic blue fin tuna, Atlantic swordfish, North Sea herring, Grand Bank cod, Argentine hake, and Australian Murray River cod. Due to the tragedy of the commons…The Marine Stewardship Council’s goal is to offer credible eco-labeling to consumers and to encourage fisherman to solve their own tragedies of the commons by the positive incentive of marketing appeal rather than the negative incentive of threatened boycotts. “ –Jared Diamond, Collapse. msc.org/
