> Not you nor anyone else has any proof of any collapse, it is hyperbolic nonsense. I'm surprised that there's any contention at all around the science that shows ocean degradation (historical and on-going), or indeed about the (likely) impending collapse. In 2014, the living planet report[0] included this dire little snippet: "Population sizes of vertebrate species—mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish—have declined by 52 percent over the last 40 years." Fishery exhaustion around the globe is tremendously well documented, with only a tiny handful of isolated success stories where strict regulation has been able to be enforced, and localised recovery has started to occur (New Zealand, f.e.). I'm wondering how you claim hyperbole in the people studying and reporting these things.
