Glen, a tanned and trim 62-year-old who still works as a carpenter, keeps an eye on the charts, goes to fish two hours before full tide, and stays for an hour after its peak. When the tide is out on this shallow coast, he'll walk 3 km over the wet sand to cast his line...

Spain's largest company, Ricardo Fuentes and Sons, declined to speak to Time, as did Azzopardi Fisheries in Malta, which controls some of the Mediterranean's richest breeding grounds. A.J.D. Tuna Limited, which Azzopardi owns with Japanese partners, says on its website that since industrial fish farming is essential to feed the world's population, "we are constantly working to try and reduce the impact of our industry on the environment." The company says it operates its fish farms only half the year in order to conserve the sea's stocks. "We Japanese don't fish...
