The Future of Fish 
 
A.
 
The face of the ocean has changed completely since the first commercial fishers cast their 
nets and hooks over a thousand years ago. Fisheries intensified over the centuries, but 
even by the nineteenth century it was still felt, justifiably, that the plentiful resources of 
the sea were for the most part beyond the reach of fishing, and so there was little need 
to restrict fishing or create protected areas. The twentieth century heralded an escalation 
in fishing intensity that is unprecedented in the history of the oceans, and modern fishing 
technologies leave fish no place to hide. Today, the only refuges from fishing are those 
we deliberately create. Unhappily, the sea trails far behind the land in terms of the area 
and the quality of protection given. For centuries, as fishing and commerce have 
expanded, we have held onto the notion that the sea is different from the land. We still 
view it as a place where people and nations should be free to come and go at will, as well 
as somewhere that should be free for us to exploit. Perhaps this is why we have been so 
reluctant to protect the sea. On land, protected areas have proliferated as human 
populations have grown. Here, compared to the sea, we have made greater headway in 
our struggle to maintain the richness and variety of wildlife and landscape. Twelve 
percent of the world’s land is now contained in protected areas, whereas the 
corresponding figure for the sea is but three-fifths of one percent. Worse still, most 
marine protected areas allow some fishing to continue. Areas off-limits to all exploitation
