Johannesburg, 27 August: by 2015 agreement was made to restore the world's depleted fisharies. It was agreed to by negotiators at the World Summit.
But as usual the process proceeded slowly and full of ironies. Protestors outside were having fun, even dancing, whilst demanding food, work and a better environment.

Earth Summit 2002 attendees have been critized as hypoticritical for having expensive catered food and drink while a few miles away there were starving South Africans.
