Marine ecologists have suggested that the largest threat to the marine ecosystem today is overfishing (DUJS). Overfishing is a result of harvesting fish faster than the rate at which they can reproduce (DUJS). Overfishing has greatly impacted the survival of many different species whether targeted or not. Under the surface of the water there is a predator versus prey ecosystem that too often is impacted by overfishing. Prey species dwindle in numbers causing a waterfall effect in which predator species
