Unsustainable fishing (overfishing, destructive fishing, illegal and unregulated fishing) and poor aquaculture practices have severely impacted many of our most popular seafood choices. Global fish stocks are exploited or depleted to such an extent that without urgent measures we may be the last generation to catch food from the oceans.
In the last 40 years, fishery resources in Malaysian waters had declined by 92%. In other words, fishermen have to work ten times harder to catch the same amount of fish! With responsible consumption, depleted fish stocks are allowed to recover and we will see higher and more stable commercial fish landings over time, ensuring that the fresh, local seafood we love will be on our plates for years to come.
