BBC Website - If only people would give up eating fish!

[Guest guest]

Fishing and climate change are harming UK marine life, according to a

report by the Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs

(Defra).

The report blames fishing, industrial activities, pollution,

acidification and warming waters for the decline in certain sea

species.

However, it does state that much of the open ocean is not affected by

pollution and some contaminants are decreasing.

Environment Minister Elliot Morley says the problem requires a " new

approach " .
