Overfishing our world’s oceans has been a problem for a long time and is growing much worse, and the overfishing of Krill in the Antarctic by 130 meter-long trawlers ploughing through the Antarctic wilderness is really quite shocking. The wildlife we have grown up with and come to love through documentaries are competing with trawlers for their food. This is the reality of the ongoing conflict between wildlife and the fishing industry. Some marine scientists are predicting that if this continues at its present rate, the seas will be empty by 2050.
