Oceanic Fish Crisis

A concern for decreasing fish populations have been increasing for over four years. Things such as over-fishing has contributed to the decline of fish populations. The overfishing of the oceans will leave parts of the world that depend of fishing for food, and for economic stability, standing on an edge. With the overfishing of differnt fish populations that is ongoing can make it so there is not a sustainable seafood harvest, and possibly the extinction of many types of fish.

Although, this is not a new thing that is going around the world. But, the overfishing of our waters is pulling around 170 billion pounds of fish in just one year. With the new technology to capture fish, it has made it easier to catch so many, and make millions of dollars in a short time. Some believe that most fisheries want nothing more, but more money. If this is true, and this problem is not sorted out, there could be serious downfalls.

There are some fishery managers who claim that the mass quantity fishing has been coming in steady for the past ten years. But, a study conducted by Daniel Pauly states that the mass-hunted fishing is not stable or divided evenly among the world's nations.

The overall impact of overfishing is devastating. Coastline economies would go down, marine ecosystems would be destroyed, and people who survive off of mainly marine animals, may stare. If we cannot inform the public that it's not simply the whole amount of fish that are being reeled in, but the types of fish that are being reeled in, the oceans, towns, and cities of planet earth will suffer.
