U.S. fishermen are exhausting the country’s fish populations. A new report from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says forty stocks of fish populations are being overfished. The stocks being overfished include cod here in the Northeast, snapper in the Gulf of Mexico and Pacific blue

fin tuna off the west coast. Anglers are depleting nearly 16 percent of all U.S. fish populations. But, despite the bad news, federal officials are saying that key stocks have been rebuilt and that strong progress in being made in repopulating at-risk stocks.
