This may not be the end of all fish! Creating more protected areas for fisheries could safeguard existing and future stocks of fish, possibly even stopping fish from being extinct in the future.

Keep your hopes up because all hope is not lost – there are still many areas where fishing is banned / restricted, especially for other sea creatures such as whales and sharks.
