News and current affairs
We humans are now so aggressively fishing, hunting, logging, and growing crops in all parts of the world that we are literally chasing other species off the planet.
Bottom trawling should simply be outlawed; it would be simple and inexpensive to compensate the fishing industry during a transition to other activities.
Reef-based activities (principally fishing and tourism) form the economic livelihood of millions more.
Historically, the principal agents of reef degradation have been over-fishing and pollution, not global warming.
When our prey numbers decline, their economic value tends to increase, so fishing intensifies.
This means that once predator species become depleted, fishing pressure shifts towards plant-eating fish species, leading to precipitous declines in the numbers of herbivores on coral reefs.
Instead of hunting, fishing, and clearing land without regard for the impact on other species, we need to pace our agricultural production, fishing, and logging in line with the environment's carrying capacity.
Like forests, coral reefs provide multiple services - including tourism and fish nurseries, which help to sustain commercial fishing - and have an intrinsic value to people.
Consider also the depletion of ocean fisheries through over-fishing.
We would pass people fishing, perhaps reeling in their lines with struggling fish hooked at the end of them.
Impaling live bait on hooks is a common commercial practice: long-line fishing, for example, uses hundreds or even thousands of hooks on a single line that may be 50-100 kilometers long.
Let's assume that all this fishing is sustainable, though of course it is not.
Whatever the explanation, the evidence is now accumulating that commercial fishing inflicts an unimaginable amount of pain and suffering.
But human predators are different. When our prey numbers decline, their economic value tends to increase, so fishing intensifies.
We obviously use cropland, grazing land, forests, and fishing grounds to produce our food, fiber, and timber, and we need space for our houses, roads, and cities.
Likewise, commercial fishing frequently depends on gill nets - walls of fine netting in which fish become snared, often by the gills.
Southwest India's Kerala coastline is dotted with Chinese-style fishing nets, and the favorite cooking pot of the Malayali housewife is the wok, locally called the cheen-chetti (Chinese vessel).
By 1992, however, over-fishing had forced the total closure of this once highly productive fishery, and, despite all efforts, Newfoundland's Grand Banks has never recovered.
Similarly, over-fishing of sharks in the Caribbean has triggered a rise in octopus and a drastic drop in spiny lobsters and scallops - two major sources of revenue for neighboring coastal communities.
And proper fishing methods that catch only target species should be used, with others caught accidentally as so-called by-catch returned to the sea alive.
