Overfishing

Over eighty percent of all life on earth in found in the ocean. Overfishing is becoming an increasing issue to our planet. The amount caught on an average fishing trip is over three times more than necessary. When the overfishing takes place the ocean is not able to keep up and sustain life. Fish are not able to reproduce at the speed needed in order to remain a large population. Because the fish population is not able to keep up our food recourses from the ocean in depleting. The food chain is starting to die off and harshly effected. In order to prevent the spread of overfishing it is important for us to severely cut down on our fishing habits and maintain the changes even after the fish population is able to catch up.
