Overfishing

Overfishing occurs when fish are caught at a rate faster than they can reproduce, leading to a significant decline in fish populations. This imbalance disrupts marine ecosystems, affecting not only the fish but also the species that rely on them for food, including other marine life and humans. Overfishing can result from unregulated fishing practices, high demand for seafood, and advancements in fishing technology. To ensure the sustainability of fish populations and ocean health, it's crucial to implement responsible fishing practices and effective management strategies.
