Answer:

That is a 50/50 chance of happening.

Step-by-step explanation:

Why?

The human population is projected to reach 9200 million by 2050 (UN 2007), which is within estimates of the maximum carrying capacity of the planet (Cohen 1995). A fundamental question for science is whether it is possible to increase food production to meet the demands of a human population of that magnitude.

So either way if we continue to be careless about our precious Oceans there won't be any marine food sources left in the ocean.

But if we try to minimize the dump we pour out in the ocean we might just make it.

So our chances are very limited.
