Overfishing Research Paper
Intro Draft:
Try to picture the ocean, the world without fish. Imagine diving into or snorkeling over the sea, in the( disturbingly tranquil/ dead still) water. No fish, sharks, turtles or squid, no sea life, no life of beauty, just water, all because of our careless overfishing, draining the waters of it’s exuberant life.This is what the not so far out future generations might be left with,if we don’t do something about it, and soon. Overfishing is a global catastrophe affecting anyone and everyone in one way or another. Overfishing is when fisheries take unsustainably large amounts of targeted and untargeted fish species at a rate that they can not reproduce fast enough to keep up with. This seemingly habit it quickly deplenishing the ocean. …show more content…
As stated in Overfishing.org,”We are in risk of losing a valuable food source many depend upon for social, economical or dietary reasons.” It has been a fairly recent discovery of overfishing and litterings effects on the ocean. The ocean has a very delicate and easily unsettled balance of each specie and the amount of it, which we humans, as a species are disrupting greatly due largely to overfishing. Over 75% of our Earth’s surface is covered in water and supplies us with a lot of natural resources. Some say 91% of Earth’s species live in the ocean, and say that as little as 10% of the oceans species have been discovered. Who knows how many other species we are disrupting their diets and lifestyles balance of without even knowing, besides the abundance we already know of.
