Advanced Photoshop Pictures Contest - 18 image entries Contest Directions: [ The world's fish and seafood could disappear by 2048 as overfishing and pollution destroy ocean ecosystems at an accelerating pace, US and Canadian researchers reported. ]
It sounds quite strange to hear all fish could disappear if we go on polluting and fishing. I could post a more believable story that if we go on drinking water, we'll drink up all the world's water by 2048 and will live on a dry planet. Then all the fishes will die in the absence of water.
And I will receive a Nobel prize in World Bullshittery and will change my name to Albert Gore-Einstein.
In this contest you are asked to show how we could preserve memories of fish by creating shapes of fish from other food, objects or landscapes.

This contest is fueled by the following news:
Bad news for seafood loving diners: By 2048, the fish and seafood in the world could disappear. Over fishing and pollution is destroying the ocean's ecosystems at an alarming pace today according to researchers in the United States and Canada. The report of these researchers indicates that if changes are not made, sea-life will disappear. The study in the report is the most exhaustive to date on the subject and was published in the November 3rd issues of the US Journal Science. The report is entitled "Impact of Biodiversity Loss on Ocean Ecosystem Services." The study lasted for four years. The study and report concludes that is the trends continue, seafood species will collapse all together by 2048. Indeed, 29 of currently fished species of sea-life were considered to be collapsed in 2003. The disturbing trend is not expected to abate absent some very definitive intervention and a clear change in the way that sea life of different types are being fished and harvested today.
After hearing of said results, the scientists of the world breed man and fish and create a race of Sharkmen! After 40 years, sharkmen become overpopulated, and a hunting license is granted!
