Fishing game - beware of overfishing

The new ELI today is 'The fishing game : beware of overfishing; a game showing how fish stocks should be managed sustainably'.

A game to be played in pairs or groups to find the group who can manage their fish stocks sustainably. ‘There are plenty more fish in the sea’ is a commonly-used phrase, but is it still true today? Many studies have shown that, when there is over-fishing, the stocks of fish can ‘crash’, which is not only a problem for the fish, but also for the men and women who fish for them. However, when fishing is managed sustainably it can continue in the long term.

Many more activities relating to our environment can be found here.
