The world's biggest seafood-producing country is trying to do something about it.
New Zealand's government has come up with a plan to make the country's seafood industry more competitive, more efficient, and more sustainable, reports Stuff.co.nz.
Among other things, the plan calls for more environmentally friendly fishing gear.
The country's seafood industry earned a record $2.1 billion in export revenue in the year ending June, and employs more than 12,500 people, says the country's oceans and fisheries minister.
"But our oceans are under pressure, too, and there's no doubt we've got to find ways of doing things differently," she says.
"We're striking a balance between looking after our oceans and making sure we've got a sustainable seafood sector that can cope with the impacts of climate change."
