Now the news continues.
Marine populations have been reduced by 50 percent on average in the last four decades mainly due to overfishing, marine habitats destruction and climate change.
The World Wide Fund for Nature, WWF, has published a report entitled "Living Blue Planet". The report tracked thousands of marine species between 1970 and 2012. The results showed a steep decline of almost 50 percent of marine populations, including marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish.

Species essential to commercial and subsistence fishing may be suffering the greatest declines, with a dramatic loss of 74 percent of popular food fish that includes tuna, mackerel and bonitos.
The report also showed a steep decline in coral reefs, mangroves and sea grasses that support fish species. Over one-third of fish tracked by the report rely on coral reefs, and these species suffered a dangerous decline of 34 percent between 1979 and 2010.
