The list features some of the most significant culprits of global overfishing and the destruction of marine life in all five oceans. Overfishing is a global problem with alarming and indisputable consequences: 90 percent of fish stocks are either fully or overexploited. Greenpeace calls on governments to urgently start removing monster boats like those named on the list from oversized industrial fishing fleets around the world.Related Collections:Monster Boats: The Scourge of the Oceans (Photos & Videos)
