Abstract: | This paper is an attempt to synthesize and briefly examine the causes of the marine fisheries crisis, and to speculate about
future initiatives. Ultimately, the human appetite is at the root of the marine fisheries crisis. But religion, technology,
population pressure, science and our economic systems have provided vehicles for human appetite and thus contributed to overfishing.
These various topics are further discussed in the context of the potential restoration of marine fisheries populations.
