I searched the forum to see if anyone has suggested this book, could not find it, if it has been, my apologies for the duplicate.
I recently bought a book to read on vacation called "The end of the line" by Charles Clover (Ebury Press, London; 2004; ISBN 009189781-5), paperback version just released.
It is about world fisheries and the way we are mis-treating a valuable resource. It isn't a doomsday scenario type book or written with an appeal of apocalypism (if that's a word), and while it is pretty depressing it is an extremely good read. It is very critical and well researched. It'll make you think twice about eating tuna amongst other things!
Well, maybe except for fun. Keep in mind, my word choice reflects only my thoughts and opinions and I don't see any reason to not have fun just because something is serious.

Thought I'd recommend it.
Is that this is nothing new. When I was in my early diving days (70s) I dived with a guy that was a biometrics professor and worked for the Gov. His job was to estimate how well a particular spices of fish was doing and recommend counter measures when they were not doing well. It started with enlarging the opening in gill nets, when this did not help then size of catch (tons) was limited. The commercial fishermen were ready to go to war over it they seemed to think the ocean and its wealth was endless.
