9.Many environmental groups are warning oceans of the world are in great danger.The two main dangers for the oceans are pollution and overfishing.Pollution receives more publicity (attention got from media),but overfishing may be the most destructive of the two in the next few years.By the early 1990s,13of the world's 17main fishing areas were already destroyed or badly damaged by overfishing.Fishermen are finding fewer and fewer fish everywhere.Unfortunately,this does not mean that fishermen are stopping fishing.Instead many are using new technology to fish new waters as deep as a mile.
Many scientists believe that present fishing methods will destroy all the large fishing areas of the world.What can be done to stop this?
Some scientists believe that governments should create no-fishing zones-areas where no one can fish.Governments can patrol and police these areas.During the U.N.International Year of the Ocean,more than 1600leading scientists and biologists from 65countries urged the world to create 80times the no-fishing areas that exist now.Their goal is to protect 20percent of the world's oceans by 2020.This is happening in some places-for example,the fishing industry in Britain is beginning to accept no-fishing zones because the amount of fish the industry catches is getting smaller and smaller.
The fishing industry often argues that the scientific evidence is not complete-that we just don't know what is going on in the oceans.Now,scientists and environmentalists have to prove that the fishing industry is doing damage before the government will pass laws protecting the ocean.This takes time and sometimes it is difficult to prove something like this.Science magazine says we should have the opposite rule-big fishing companies should have to prove that they are not destroying the oceans before we allow them to fish.In other words,the companies should be responsible for proof.
Environmentalists say that average people need to get together and put pressure (压力) on their governments to do something; the large fishing companies who own the large fishing boats are not going to stop fishing by themselves.If we don't,they say,there will be nothing left in the oceans but water.

The scientists say the common way called longline fishing is especially harmful to large fish.This way includes many fishing lines that are connected(连接) to one boat.If these lines are joined together,they can reach one hundred kilometers.They hold thousands of sharp metal hooks(钩) to catch fish.Longline fishing is especially common in the Japanese fishing industry.Records showed that Japanese boats used to catch about ten fish for every one hundred hooks.The study says longline fishing boats now might catch one fish per hundred hooks.
The scientists say business fishing can destroy groups of fish much faster than in the past.It's not the only worry that the number of large fish is becoming smaller and smaller.What's worse,they are smaller in size than their ancestors(祖先).
