I was looking for this 2006 paper from in Science about the collapse of the world's fish stocks that attracted quite a lot of press when I came across this relatively new site - overfishing.org which has a nice clean design and a lot of interesting (although often depressing) links and articles. Don't miss the bottom trawling satellite images.
