Despite the sustainable seafood movement gaining steam globally, the devastation wrought by global industrialized fishing continues on a massive scale.

Globally, populations of these ecologically vital animals have dropped by as much as 90 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Bycatch remains a scandalous problem: each day, an enormous portion of the world\u2019s total seafood catch is tossed over the sides of fishing boats due to inefficient, indiscriminate fishing methods. The worst of the destructive fishing practices, bottom trawling, is responsible for 80 percent of all bycatch incurred globally.<\/p>\n<p><a
