Who is addressing this problem? What can we do to help?

There are many people who are trying to solve the problem of overfishing. One particular group, called Green Peace, is making an extra effort. They are working on international relations trying to make agreements between different governments, hopefully leading to more rigid and strict rules out at sea. Some local ways of helping to stop overfishing include eating fish that are not as vulnerable to becoming completely exploited and teaching others about the worldwide issue.

The photo shown is of a port in France. This port is attempting to spread the knowledge of the problem by telling people to stop overfishing.
