DESCRIPTION:Greed and bad governance have contributed to a crisis in the oceans. The 
 journal Nature reports that every species of fish worldwide has fallen by 
 at least 90 percent. Within 20 years, around one billion people in 
 developing countries will face shortages of fish, their primary source of 
 protein, according to a separate study by the Malaysia-based WorldFish 
 Center. The Pew Oceans Commission reports similar findings in U.S. waters, 
 where there is unprecedented pressure on our marine ecosystems. Worldwide, 
 more vessels are chasing fewer fish, creating frequent at-sea violence and 
 increasing international tension. While threats to our world oceans seem 
 overwhelming, there are ways that oceans can be protected for future 
 generations.  The panelists on this program will discuss these issues, as 
 well as make the case for international cooperation to sustain the 
 world’s marine ecosystems. \n\nKeynote Speaker\nLeon Panetta, Chair, Pew
