Solution for critically low fish stocks; Net even greater numbers

In a staggering display of stupidity the EU has agreed that to solve the ever decreasing fish stock numbers trawlers and netsman should fish even more.

According to the BBC tougher measures would only be introduced if fish stock numbers decrease further. Given that Cod stocks are a third of the level they need to reproduce themselves how much further down do they need to go?

Global warming and over fishing are so evident even to shore fisherman like myself that I cannot believe more wasn't done.
