According to some experts, if we don't take action soon, fish stocks in our oceans could collapse by 2050 - a scary statistic when you consider that over half a billion people rely on the ocean for their livelihoods.

This infographic (in association with Selfridges, Greenpeace, ZSL, Marine Conservation Society, Pew Environment Group and ClientEarth), brings you the shocking facts and figures surrounding unsustainable fishing practices and the devastating effect overfishing could have on marine ecosystems.

There are a range of effective measures we can adopt to protect the diversity of our oceans and prevent them from turing into 'jellyfish soup'.
