The US has always been very slow to come to the table over fisheries issues. If you can get your hands on it, read <a href="http://www.powells.com/biblio/17-9780140275018-0" rel="nofollow">"Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World by Mark Kurlansky"</a>. It covers the history of the North Atlantic Cod fisheries from the pre-Columbian Baque's to the present collapse of the breeding stock. The US taking action now should be a huge wake up call that this has gotten very serious.

The story is one that has been around for a while, so maybe it is not viewed as "new enough" news to cover extensively. If you eat tuna, make it Albacore Tuna. Just watch out for the mercury! :-0 -Will That site is right about the lack of coverage.
