Fisheries and the right to food 2012, para. 19
Párrafo- Paragraph text
- Lastly, the future of fishing is threatened by habitat loss. Mangrove forests, seagrass meadows, salt marshes and coral reefs play a vital role in the reproductive cycles of many fish and marine species. Since the 1940s, however, 35 per cent of the world's mangrove forests has been destroyed and one third of seagrass areas and 25 per cent of salt marshes have been lost. For some habitats, declines are accelerating. Before 1990, seagrass meadows were being lost at a rate of about 1 per cent annually; since 1990, this rate has increased to 7 per cent. One third of coral reefs has disappeared during the past 50 years.
