What remains is getting smaller by weight and size, and is reproducing less frequently and less numerously. My responsability is to eat less, yours is to ensure that what remains is protected and what is harvested is caught in a sustainable fashion. Yours faithfully, Submission on Marine Protected Areas proposals on the South Island’s West Coast:

Dear Sirs,

Science and marine fishery records shows that 90% of the top of the marine food-chain has been eliminated in the last 100 years.

What remains is getting smaller by weight and size, and is reproducing less frequently and less numerously.

My responsability is to eat less, yours is to ensure that what remains is protected and what is harvested is caught in a sustainable fashion.

Yours faithfully,
