As our population is increasing we are facing many problems‚ one of the problem is overfishing. Overfishing is caused by the increasing demand (need) of fish. The more demand of fish there is the more fishers have to catch. The reason for this is because the more fish‚ fishers catch and sell‚ the more money they get. This is proven by Young People’s Trust for the Environment because they say‚ “It is human nature to try to make as much money as possible.” The more fish‚ that is caught the less fish

The water resource problem in the video is overfishing. Overfishing is a problem that occurs when fishermen catch fish at a rate faster than they can reproduce. I think overfishing originated when fishermen began using bigger and better fishing nets and techniques. Better fishing equipment resulted in overfishing‚ which is a major water resource problem. Depletion of the fish population is a problem that could be managed. Even though‚ it is difficult for the depleted stocks to return to sustainable

science Overfishing is a situation where one or more fish stocks are reduced below predefined levels of acceptance by fishing activities. More precise definitions are provided in biology and bioeconomics. Biological overfishing occurs when fishing mortality has reached a level where the stock biomass has negative marginal growth (slowing down biomass growth)‚ as indicated by the red area in the figure. Economic or bioeconomic overfishing in addition to the biological dynamics takes into consideration

The Impact of Overfishing Overfishing has become an enormous problem all over the world. The impact of the increasing demand for fish and the advanced techniques made in the area of commercial fishing has caused some species of fish to be virtually extinct. In fact‚ some species like the giant bluefin tuna widely used by Japanese chefs and served in many restaurants‚ are now just few years away from extinction. Human demand for fish has increased enormously over the last several years‚ particularly

entire world is having a very serious effect on the health of the oceans as a whole. When commercially valuable species are overexploited‚ other species and habitat that share the same ecosystem are affected. According to many marine scientists and marine ecologists‚ unsustainable (overfishing) fishing is the greatest threat to the ocean ecosystems. For example‚ recent scientific studies suggest that overfishing of large shark species has had a ripple effect in the shark’s food chain‚ increasing

How does overfishing occur? What can we do to combat overfishing? There is a high demand for fish‚ and this along with increasingly more effective fishing techniques is causing overfishing. Some of the fishing methods that contributing to overfishing: Drift netting (between 2 boats) Longline fishing (up to 100km behind the boat) Radar/Sonar technology making it easier to find schools of fish No single country can be blamed for overfishing‚ but many countries

At first thought‚ overfishing may not seem harmful to people‚ but in reality its damage is often underestimated. Overfishing is when too many fish are being caught than reproduction can replace. We can never really say that it is going to stop but we can try our best to reduce overfishing as much as possible. The world may think that the food in the sea is never-ending but that is not so. “Gathering as many fish as possible may seem like a profitable practice‚ but overfishing has serious consequences

The water resource problem in this video is the overfishing of the ocean. Overfishing of the ocean has shifted the entire ecosystem. The ocean today has far less fish life than it used to. One estimate shows only one-tenth of the sharks‚ tuna‚ cod and other large predatory fish swim in the ocean. around the world. The loss of fish continues. Overfishing occurs when fish and other marine species are caught at a faster rate then they can reproduce. There is a high demand for fish. The

information I needed for my research and has helped me understand more about how overfishing is affecting corals negatively. This article has also provided me a video interview that was conducted with one of the researchers. Purpose: The purpose of this source is that it provided me more information for my research proving that overfishing contributes to the declination of coral reefs. We need to take action to remove overfishing near these corals because corals are vital to the ecosystem‚ helping us learn
