Overfishing is a thing, but we're not engaged with such activities. We've been sustainably fishing for a long, long time. Don't get me wrong, we've had our problems over the years, like 3 "Cod wars" with Iceland, which ultimately they won. That was the beginning of fishing decline in the UK. We had to conceded large swathes of marine territory because Iceland threatened to pull out of NATO. Did we start overfishing the waters we can fish? No, because we're not stupid.

We don't need to be partonised about such issues, not least from fucking Greenpeace. I note the words "UK", "Britain" and "England" are not part of the article which admittedly I didn't read.
