I personally would rate the health state of the fisheries at a 7, just because of how the ocean has been overall mistreated in the last few decades such as; radiation, pollution, and oil. Some say we have been overfishing these bodies of water, but then when we look at the statistics of how 50% of our fish are now being farmed, I’m not so sure about the overfishing statement. However as a commercial fisherman of Alaska, all of my life I have experienced and viewed the good qualities of our Northern fishing grounds and fisheries. I believe that Alaska’s fisheries and it’s waters are managed and kept very pristine, a suitable role model for the rest of the world.
