It describes how the fish we most commonly eat, including tuna, salmon, cod, and swordfish, could disappear within 50 years, and the domino effect it would have—oceans teeming with jellyfish and turning pinkish orange from algal blooms; seabirds disappearing, then reptiles, then mammals. It describes the back-and-forth dynamic of fishermen and scientists. It covers the effects of industrialized fishing, and how bottom-dragging nets are turning the ocean floor into a desert.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe answer? Support sustainable fishing. \u003ci\u003eWorld Without Fish\u003c\/i\u003e tells kids exactly what they can do: Find out where those fish sticks come from. Tell your parents what’s good to buy, and what’s not. Ask the waiter if the fish on the menu is line-caught And follow simple rules: Use less plastic, and never eat endangered fish like bluefin tuna.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterwoven with the book is a full-color graphic novel.
