Oceans in Crisis Need Urgent Reform | Anchorage News
Description
Our oceans are in crisis—overfished, polluted, and warming fast—with ecosystems collapsing under the weight of profit-driven policies. Despite controlling 4.3 million square miles since 1976, U.S. fisheries management is broken, especially in Alaska, where seabirds starve, crab populations vanish, and pollock plummet. Scientists warned decades ago that current fishing levels would destroy marine life—but decisions still prioritize industry over survival. It’s time for a radical reset: new laws, conservation-focused councils, expanded protected zones, and unified ocean governance to rebuild resilience before it’s too late.
