The crisis of the fisheries is similar to our economy. This is not one fishery failing, but the whole system.

Our oceans have been the victims of a giant Ponzi scheme, waged with Bernie Madoff-like callousness by the world's fisheries.

While the climate crisis gathers front-page attention on a regular basis, people - even those who profess great environmental consciousness - continue to eat fish as if it were a sustainable practice.

We transform the world, but we don't remember it. We adjust our baseline to the new level, and we don't recall what was there.

World needs a new order of modern economy.

This is by far the biggest crisis facing the Palestinian Authority and the Palestinian economy. It could have profound long-term consequences.
