Ecosystem Approach

"With 76 percent of the worlds fish stocks fully exploited or overexploited, and many species severely depleted, many policymakers and scientists now agree that we must adopt a radical new approach to managing the seas: one that is precautionary in nature and has the protection of the whole marine ecosystem as its primary objective. This 'ecosystem approach' is vital if we are to ensure the health of our oceans for future generations." - excerpt from this Worldwatch web page.
