This new series looks beyond American's borders to illustrate mass phenomena that occur on a global scale. The first two pieces depict statistics about the overfishing of sharks and tuna-- two of the most important predators in our world's marine ecosystems. Images on other issues will be coming soon; please stay tuned.
