Our Oceans are dying. It is now estimated that our fish stocks will collapse in less than 50 years. Surely alarm bells must be ringing very loud by now, for the leaders of our countries have been entrusted to work together to prevent such an absolutely catastrophic event. Surely? Well...whilst the perpetual beard stroking goes on, whaling nations continue to push hard to once again unleash their harpoons and turn the sea red, deep sea bottom trawling continues to destroy the seed beds of life itself and the slaughter of 100 million sharks a year, in order to satisfy a demand for a "delicacy" called shark fin soup, goes unchecked.

Therefore only one question remains - do we deserve this planet?

Of one thing I am sure - The answer will come shortly after the fish stocks collapse.
