11. Conclusions from this analyzes are:
• Total production has stabilized over the last 20 years.
• Capture fisheries landings have shifted from developed countries to developing
countries.
• Degree of overfishing has been stabilizing over the last 20 years but is still
unacceptable.
• Aquaculture is overtaking capture fisheries in production for human
consumption.
• Great expansion in trade, particularly from developing countries to developed
countries.

12. Conclusions from this
analyzes are:
A. Center of gravity for fish production has moved from
developed countries to developing countries, where small scale
fisheries will be extremely important.
B. Center of gravity has moved from capture fisheries to
aquaculture, particularly aquaculture in Asia.

13. Main Challenges
There are many challenges some of which have been
mentioned
They fall into two categories:
1. Refining the management and governance of fisheries in
developed and middle income-countries, including IUU.
2. Refining the certification/traceability systems to benefit a
broader group of producers, including IUU.

This graph shows the state of world fisheries production. It is obvious to all and we all know, that under present conditions, capture fisheries are leveling off at the same time as consumption per capita per year increases. This is made possible by the growth in aquaculture, the fastest growing food sector, which is now almost equal to capture fisheries for human consumption but we still have a sizeable portion going for non-human food consumption, mostly animal feed.
The situation of wild stocks is unacceptable, too many stocks, or around 30% of stocks, are overfished. Even though the last two SOFIA reports have not reported an increase in this section the statistical trend has not changed. We both have to and can change this. The dark blue area in the graph shows the stocks which are harvested within biologically sustainable levels and the light blue shows the stocks that are fished unsustainably.
Most of the pictures are taken from the Cancun Underwater Museum. MUSA It is a Non-Profit Organization based in Cancun México devoted to the Art of Conservation. This museum has a total of 500 sculptures with three different galleries submerged between three and six meters started in 2009 and completed at the end of 2013. A series of sculptures by Jason deCaires Taylor and five other Mexican sculptors of the Cancún National Marine Park. The museum was thought up by Marine Park Director Jaime Gonzalez Canto with the help of sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor.
The underwater museum is to benefit the protection of the coral reefs. Artificial reefs are usually created by sunken ships and other objects that have fallen to the bottom of the ocean floor. The statues are a new technique and material for coral to grow and collect. Art was seen as saving the oceans.
As each statue was made with PH-neutral cement, coral, seaweed, and algae are able to grow and develop better than on an old ship. Stable structures with a stable base have been known to be the perfect surface for an artificial reefs to form. The statues also feature holes in them, which allow marine wildlife to colonize and feed off the coral. Coral reefs will increase, but so will marine life. After only a short time under the water, the statues began to change and nature started to do its part in growing with the help of humans. In time, all the statues will be covered and their figures will barely be visible
The museum also benefits the community. With the new installment, more tourists are coming and new tours are being created for them.
A Cancun tour guide and diver, Juan Carlos Garrido worries the museum will not last. The museum is good for his touring and diving business, but he is concerned that the statues and coral reefs may become ruined or even more damaged by a storm or the numbers of tourist that will come. These statues are meant to keep coral developing and if some get damaged the statues are able to continue that growth.
