Tangled up in blue

Article Abstract:

The dolphins are increasingly tangled up in the litter of human indifference, while hauling into a boat, captured in a net to have marine litter removed. The only way to reduce dolphin entanglement is to reduce the amount of litter entering the marine environment and imposing legal penalties for littering, along with education on the entanglement issue not only for dolphins but also for whales, seals, birds and other animals too.

An unexpected catch

Article Abstract:

Marine biologists and advocates for sustainable fisheries have warned of the perils of unregulated and abandoned commercial fishing gear, which kill fishes and drown seabirds and marine mammals in large quantities. There are fresh evidences of modern fishing gear being strong enough to disable an Russian submarine and the question about how much longer Russia's marine resources can survive the region's lawlessness is raised.

Africa urged to create more fish farms

Article Abstract:

Fisheries experts would meet the leaders of 25 African countries in Abuja, Nigeria to call for urgent investment in aquaculture across the continent in August 2005 to be able to provide more fish to provide to the growing population. Patrick Dugan, deputy director-general of the World Fish Center reveals that Sub-Saharan Africa would require 32% more fish by 2020 to maintain the existing consumption levels.
