Lower Fish Supplies and It's All Our Fault

Although most people don’t know about it, fish supplies in our oceans have been dropping for a while now because of over-fishing. A new concern can aggravate the situation, and again, it is caused by us humans.At UK’s Plymouth Marine Laboratory and the Society for General Microbiology, Dr. Ian Joint is warning that increased levels of carbon dioxide or CO2 in the atmosphere could affect the oceans' microbial life. This may not mean much to us plain people, but it translates into less food for fish due to the negative impact on microscopic plants.
Also, bacteria have an important role in controlling the amount of oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and sulfur in the sea, making it responsible for the production of half the oxygen produced in the world.
So, I guess we have another reason for modifying our behaviors, in terms of nature conservation and global climate changes....at least if you want to keep eating fish.
