Save the Fish

**Sweatshirts are 6" larger in chest size than the t-shirts** This colorful shirt depicts around 100 species of fish, the most diverse group of vertebrates. This diversity is under threat from pollution, development of waterways, introduced species, climate change, and overfishing. The estuaries at the mouths of large rivers, once hotspots of biomass and biodiversity, are being poisoned by pollution from industry and choked by algae blooms fueled by nutrient-rich agricultural runoff. Commercial fisheries tend to target just a few species, such as salmon, sardines, and tuna, and exploit them more quickly than populations can replenish themselves. While the desired catch is specific, some commercial fishing methods like trawling catch many species unintentionally. Dolphins and sea turtles, which breathe air, can become trapped in nets and drown. The journal Science predicts that the world's fisheries could be depleted by 2050 if current practices aren't altered, as commercial fisheries a
