Animal agriculture is the leading cause of species extinction, ocean dead zones, water pollution [iv], and habitat destruction.

3/4 of the world’s fisheries are exploited.

90 million tons of fish are pulled from our oceans each year.

For every 1 pound of fish caught, an average of 5 pounds of unintended marine species are caught and discarded as by-kill.

As many as 40% (63 billion pounds) of fish caught globally every year are discarded.

100 million tons of fish are caught annually.

Fish catch peaks at 85 million tons.

Note: Eating a pescatarian diet is still bad for the fish.
