Overfishing: Its Impact and Threat to Marine Biodiversity

Dr Malti

Abstract :

 Many decades ago, our oceans were full of fishes but unfortunately, this is not now. Our world today faces many complex issues ranging from pollution, climate change, wars, food crises, waste, over–population and over–fishing.  These are all problems we have created for ourselves, often as a result of our selfish activities. Overfishing particularly is one issue that is often underrated. This is because we do not hear about it often, and we also do not live in water so we do not care what happens there. The dramatic increase of destructive fishing techniques worldwide destroys marine mammals and entire ecosystems.
