For the moment, marine biodiversity is more endangered by overfishing than by climate change or acidification. But in the long term, these two phenomena will considerably increase their pressure. The FAO estimates that between 660 and 820 million people worldwide, about 10% of the world's population, are directly or indirectly dependent on fisheries and aquaculture. | |||

This is irrelevant to the subject of climate change, but it is interesting to make the link anyway. If we are talking to an older audience, we can for example mention the size of sardine tins which has decreased because they don't have time to grow before they are fished. | ||
