The lead successfully includes a an intro sentence which functions as a definition of the topic and clearly/concisely introduces it. It includes subsections that will be covered and is maybe a tad over-detailed considering most of the information is repeated in the subsections. Content is relevant and up to date (most from within the last ~20 years).

Purely informational in nature and doesn't include any bias or opinion. There are a few powerful images that are sourced and captioned correctly and definitely add to the article.

All information is current and backed up by reliable and credible sources. Links to references used all work and are relatively current though I am sure there is always new information on this topic that is arising. The article is quite wordy and includes lots of links to other articles or sources which is helpful but simultaneously a bit overwhelming. VERY informational.

The article is noted to be of interest to the Environment/Sustainability WikiProject, Fisheries and Fishing Project, Oceans Project and Sanitation Project.
