  OCEAN DEVOID OF LIFE

  A recent report by Canadian scientists, published in the British
newspaper The Independent states that the global population of fish will
be cut in half by the year 2015. They say that if the world-community as
a whole doesn�t stop the non-sustainable fisheries, there are small
changes for coming generations to be fed by the ocean.
  - These aren�t exaggerations or wild guesses, a spokesman says.- We
were and are aware of the fact that such predictions haven�t come
through in the past, at least not for the year they were supposed to
come true. But the world�s food chambers, including the oceans having
been taxed ever harder, and we have seen the heavy signs of decline for
some time, of a system, a global eco-system being taxed way beyond
endurance. Hundreds of years of misuse and destruction are now visibly
catching up with us all. We have been very careful and conservative in
our estimates.
  The world�s food production has gone awry in the nineties, a few years
after Paul Erlich drastic predictions and the fisheries have been
dropping, increasingly with an average of 360 million kilos each year.
