A recent report by Britas Eriksson of Groning university in the Netherlands showed that there were correlations between overfishing and algal blooming. Her study showed that when top predatory fish, such as pike or perch were excluded from fisheries, the numbers of prey fish and smaller predators increased, consuming smaller invertebrates like snails that help regulate the algal growth. This allowed algal blooming to occur uninhibited.

The report was published in 2011 with the title "Does Overfishing Promote Algal Blooming?", if anyone should find this interesting.

It will be willingly embraced after the emerging world war, which will most likely decimate civilization. It will be a testament to the barbaric and primitive forms of control need to go. As I have said, in a democracy, people will vote against the earth every time.
