<p>Years of overfishing are taking a severe toll on 14 species in the Gulf of Mexico and the southern Atlantic Ocean. The Campaign to End Overfishing in the Southeast aims to halt overfishing and rebuild healthy fish populations and ecosystems.</p> http://www.pewtrusts.org/news_room.aspx This study examines an important component of the costs of overfishing in the South Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico regions — recreational catch losses from historic overfishing and their associated economic impacts. Our analysis covers nine federally managed overfished stocks in these two regions over the period 2005–2009, the most recent years for which the necessary data were available prior to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf.
