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

The Sustainability of Over Fishing Area A Hi‚ I’m Taylor and my sustainability project is on over fishing. Over fishing means “situations where one or more fish are reduced below their normal populations because of fishing activities”. This means that fish or fish’s population may be so over fished that it may not recover. So I am going to talk about ways we can still fish but in a more sustainable way. Area B Science‚ Math‚ and Technology can help my issue by leading up to it and possibly

century. The largest fish-including shark‚ Atlantic bluefin tuna‚ and the Atlantic cod-are especially at risk. Eel‚ king crab‚ and Atlantic salmon are other species that have been overfished to critically low levels. There is little disagreement that overfishing is the result of a combination of increased demand for fish worldwide‚ along with industrial fishing methods that catch large quantities of fish in a short period of time by means

Overfishing is “the act of catching fish from the oceans faster than the the fish can reproduce and replace the caught fish numbers. Modern day technology and hi-tech equipments have made it easy to catch a larger number of fish in a shorter span of time and with minimal effort. The more and more fish are caught the lesser they are found in the waters. This is one of the main reasons that fishermen have to travel longer distances deeper into the sea to catch fish.” Because of our rapidly expanding

slightly‚ this research is conclusive with that of The Water Brothers and supports their findings that such a large number of global fish stocks are depleted. Overfishing‚ when fish are caught faster than they can reproduce (Lee & Safina n.d.) has decimated marine ecosystems around the world. One of the leading contributors to overfishing is bottom trawling. This fishing technique uses weighted nets‚ which drag across the ocean floor‚ catching anything in its path. This is the most destructive method

1. Overfishing dramatically reduces the population of the fishes that are being targeted by fishing companies. For example‚ the Chinese have overfished their fish populations in the East China Sea‚ so now they are fishing illegally on Philippine‚ and Argentine waters. This is now a crisis because if they have overfished their population‚ then they will continue to do this on waters of many countries. This will might lead the fish population to the point of extinction‚ similarly like how the beavers

Commercial fishing and overfishing is a big problem to the aquatic animals in the world. In 1968 a cod (type of fish) catching industry got a highly industrialized fishing vessel‚ and was able to catch from about 500‚000 to 800‚000 tons of codfish in Labrador and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. In the 10 years to follow the cod population decreased to the point that‚ the amount of spawning cod out of Newfoundland in 1977 was a 94 percent drop from the amount in 1962. Another type of fish population

billion people and there are not enough fish in the seas to feed the world. According to the video‚ there is a problem with overfishing and the ocean is being harvested of all its fish faster than it can repopulate. There are not enough fish left to allow this resource to thrive for our future. According to Scientist Jeremy Jackson‚ it is reversible; there is still hope. Overfishing is not just fisheries taking fish from the sea; although that is the larger part of it. Fisheries also bycatch‚ which

Because when we think of fish‚ we think of the millions or even billions of little or big swimming creatures in the huge ocean; how could there be a shortage? Overfishing is the answer. Overfishing is where we hunt fish faster than they can be replaced naturally; which causes the number to abate very quickly. People do not believe overfishing is a problem because it is not something you can easily see‚ unlike global warming. Global warming has visual evidence like melting snow and warming temperatures

Overfishing in the Gulf of Mexico In recent years the fish and all the other marine animals that live in the Gulf have been affected by different natural disasters or disasters caused by us humans. For example‚ the most recent natural disaster that affected the lives of many marine animals in the Gulf was Hurricane Katrina in 2005‚ which caused the Gulf Coast entered the United States with lots of water and different types of animals from the gulf. This caused many fish to die and some to even become
