Since then, the face of the ocean has changed. Commercial fishing has boomed over the centuries, but even in the 19th century, it was still felt that there were plenty of fish in the sea and that there was little need to limit fishing or create protected areas. The 20th century bore witness to an unprecedented escalation in fishing intensity, with modern fishing technologies leaving fish with nowhere to hide. Nowadays, the only safe places from fishing are those we purposely create. Unfortunately, protection of the ocean still leaves a lot to be desired.We have always regarded the ocean as distinct from the land - a place where people can come and go as they please and feel free to exploit. Maybe that is why we have been so disinclined to protect the sea. Protected areas on land have increased significantly as human populations have grown. We have made greater progress on land compared to the ocean when it comes to preserving wildlife and the environment. Less than 1% of the ocean is protected, as opposed to around 12% of the world’s land. What makes it even worse is that marine protected areas still allow some fishing to continue. Areas completely protected from exploitation are minimal.We are finally acknowledging that natural reserves that prohibit fishing are crucial to sustaining fisheries, while preserving healthy, diverse marine ecosystems. However, other measures need to be taken to rebuild fisheries and reform fisheries’ management. Nevertheless, there are limits to protection. Reserves cannot restore what has died out. Globally extinct species cannot be revived, and restoring species that are locally extinct may necessitate reintroducing them from other areas if they can’t naturally disperse from remaining populations.We are also witnessing transformations in marine ecosystems, as evidenced by examples like northern cod in Canada. Fishing activities can shift marine ecosystems into different states, where there are various species combinations. These species are often less desirable, as the primary fishing targets have either disappeared or have significantly dwindled in numbers. Reversing these changes might prove to be difficult, even with a comprehensive fishing ban in place. Monk seals, loggerhead turtles and porpoises were once abundant in the Mediterranean, but hunting and overfishing have totally transformed food systems, making their recovery much harder to achieve than their destruction was. This means that the sooner we take action to safeguard marine life, the greater our assurance of success.For some individuals, creating marine reserves is seen as admitting defeat. Their reasoning is that if we effectively managed our use of the sea, reserves would not be necessary. Many fisheries’ managers remain committed to the idea that their models will eventually succeed and that politicians will heed their advice. The question is, how much time do we have? Efforts have been tried and refined over the past 50 years, and while there have been a few successes, there is a growing list of failures. According to the Common Fisheries Policy, which monitors the management of fisheries and aquaculture in the European Union, the most significant pitfalls are defective models, inaccurate advice, diluted suggestions from government bureaucrats and politicians ignoring most of this advice. When things inevitably went wrong, Europe resorted to sending its boats to other countries to obtain fish at prices far below their actual worth.We are destroying our oceans, and if we don’t break this cycle of neglect, humanity will lose a vital source of protein and much more. Disrupting natural ecosystem processes like water purification, nutrient cycling and carbon storage could have serious consequences for human life. Implementing straightforward, sensible management practices can go a long way in avoiding this catastrophic damage, with marine reserves being central to the reform. However, sporadic implementation will not be adequate to support the deteriorating structure of the “rational fisheries management.” These reforms must take central stage as the essential foundation for all our efforts in protecting the ocean.27.
