The toll on wildlife from illegal fishing, bycatch and entanglement in fishing gear is likely underestimated, because it doesn’t account for ‘dark’ fishing vessels, a new study finds.
Humans rely on the ocean for food, jobs and other resources, but these systems are being stressed to the brink.

A new tool called EcoCast helps fishermen in the West Coast figure out where it’s best to fish that day.
