“Overfishing threatens catastrophe, study finds
By Marla Cone, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer -11:00 AM PST, November 2, 2006
“All of the world’s fishing stocks will collapse before mid-century, devastating food supplies, if overfishing and other human impacts continue at their current pace, according to a global study to be published Friday by a team of scientists from 12 academic institutions in five countries.
“Already, 29% of species that are fished — including bluefin tuna, Atlantic cod, Alaskan king crab, Pacific salmon and an array of California fisheries — have collapsed and the pace is accelerating, the report says.
“If present trends persist, the study predicts that “100% of [fished] species will collapse by the year 2048 or around that,” said marine conservation biologist Boris Worm at a press conference today. A fishery is considered collapsed if catches fall to 10% of historic highs. Worm, an assistant professor at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, led the team of researchers responsible for the report.
“In addition, ocean ecosystems will be unable to recover from shrinking populations of so many species of fish and other sea creatures, the scientists reported in the journal Science.
“The report is the first comprehensive assessment of the potential consequences of ongoing declines in the diversity of life in the world’s oceans. In recent years, marine scientists have warned about the extreme toll of overfishing in many regions, but the new report offers one of the most dismal predictions for the future of the world’s fisheries….”
7. IF YOU’RE IN NEW YORK SOMETIME BETWEEN NOV 9 AND DEC 23…
MATT GREENE’s new exhibition “Surrender” will be at Deitch Projects
November 09, 2006 — December 23, 2006
76 Grand Street, New York
http://www.deitchprojects.com/projects/sub.php?projId=196&orient=h
“Deitch Projects is pleased to present Surrender, an exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Matt Greene. This new suite of paintings is inspired by erotica and its screenic image as a vehicle to address formal concerns such as surface, color, and space.
“Known for his ethereal landscapes of fleshy fungi and bushy bombshells, Matt Greene continues in this series an exploration of his favorite shelves in the library: horticulture, vintage pornography, horror films, fairy tales, 19th Century Symbolist art, and of course the history of Modernism. These disparate interests—and the weighty themes of gender, sexuality, and epistemology that accompany them—Greene masterfully approaches in a hallucinatory, visionary manner allowing them to come together in phantasmagoric splendor on his canvases.”
(Matt Greene illustrated Mark Pilkington’s article in ARTHUR 14 on magic mushrooms in Great Britain.)
