A new study identifies countries most vulnerable to declining coral reef fisheries from a food-security perspective while providing a framework to plan for alternative protein sources needed to replace declining fisheries.

Its really sad to see that the poorest countries who rely on reefs and fish for survival are now the first ones in danger from their downfall...and I'd be willing to bet that the countries that actually consume (or more accurately stated, BUY) the fish that are harvested from financially poor regional reefs are the ones that are pushing this trend forward through the greed of just a few individuals or companies whose motivation is profit and not sustainability (which is peverse and illogical as sustaining fish and wildlife only helps their bottom line in the future).

The statement, "there are always more fish in the sea" is quickly becoming a lie.
