<p><em>"Daniel Pauly is a friend whose work has inspired me for years."</em><br><em><strong>&#8212;Ted Danson</strong>, actor, ocean activist, and co-author of </em>Oceana</p><p><em>"This wonderfully personal and accessible book by the world&#8217;s greatest living fisheries biologist summarizes and expands on the causes of collapse and the essential actions that will be required to rebuild fish stocks for future generations.&#8221;</em><br><em><strong>&#8212;Dr. Jeremy Jackson</strong>, ocean scientist and author of </em>Breakpoint</p><p>The world&#8217;s fisheries are in crisis. Their catches are declining, and the stocks of key species, such as cod and bluefin tuna, are but a small fraction of their previous abundance, while others have been overfished almost to extinction. The oceans are depleted and the commercial fishing industry increasingly depends on subsidies to remain afloat.</p><p>In these essays, award-winning biologist Dr. Daniel Pauly offers a thought-provoking look at the state of today&#8217;s global fisheries&#8212;and a radical way to turn it around. Starting with the rapid expansion that followed World War II, he traces the arc of the fishing industry&#8217;s ensuing demise, offering insights into how and why it has failed.</p><p>With clear, convincing prose, Dr. Pauly draws on decades of research to provide an up-to-date assessment of ocean health and an analysis of the issues that have contributed to the current crisis, including globalization, massive underreporting of catch, and the phenomenon of &#8220;shifting baselines,&#8221; in which, over time, important knowledge is lost about the state of the natural world.</p><p>Finally, <em>Vanishing Fish</em> provides practical recommendations for a way forward&#8212;a vision of a vibrant future where small-scale fisheries can supply the majority of the world&#8217;s fish.</p><p><strong>Published in Partnership with the David Suzuki Institute</strong></p>
