Although oceans cover more than two-thirds of the planet's surface, it is clear that our oceans are limitless no more. For too long access to marine life has been largely open for use by anyone possessing the means to exploit it.
Rapid advances in technology have meant that the ability, reach and power of vessels and equipment used to exploit marine life now far outweigh nature's ability to maintain it. If left unchecked, this will have tragic consequences.
