"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."

So what is the government doing to help combat this problem and how is society affected by this dramatic loss? Some fishermen argue there is no problem and fish stocks are exploding. Who do we believe?
