According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, one third of the world's fisheries are being pushed beyond (they) natural limits. Overfishing goes hand in hand with bycatch (副渔获物). Bycatch is that unwanted sea life (catch) along with the desired catch and then thrown away. Asresult, billions of fish along with seabirds, sea turtles and millions of sharks are lost. Bycatch is (probable) the most important threat to sea turtles now.
The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) (海洋管理委员会) has been working with scientists, fisheries and seafood(producer) for more than 20 years. They (develop) standards for sustainable fishing 20 years ago. Around 15 percent of wild-capture fisheries are now MSC certified. And Fishery Improvement Projects (FIPS) in many countries are working ( increase) that percentage.
What can you do? Look for MS's bluefish label, appears on over 30, 000 products and menus in almost 100 countries. Buying a product with this label means you're supporting a fishery that is contributing to a (healthy) ocean than before. And that will help protect both the oceanthe fish for years to come.
