A recent study of 49 Island nations found that catches are on average 64% above sustainable levels. A this rate, many Island nations will see their primary protein source collapse within the next few decades.
In 9 countries the fisheries have already collapsed. The problem boils down to protein. Island nations typically only have local fish available to them as a primary protein source. All other alternatives are either prohibitively expensive or impractical to produce on a large enough scale to support the population.
