What is Overfishing?

What is Overfishing?

Overfishing involves catching fish faster than they can reproduce, leading to a drastic decline in marine populations worldwide, altering ecosystems and affecting food security.

Global Crisis

Global Crisis

A global crisis, overfishing has left nearly a third of the world's fisheries depleted. This number might be an underestimate, hinting at a deeper, unseen problem.

Why Does Overfishing Happen?

Why Does Overfishing Happen?

From the surge in seafood demand to climate-driven habitat changes, several factors contribute to overfishing, pushing marine life towards irreversible damage.

Role of Illegal Fishing

Role of Illegal Fishing

Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing exacerbates overfishing, often involving protected zones and unreported catches, severely harming marine ecosystems.

Economic Impact of Overfishing

Economic Impact of Overfishing

Overfishing threatens millions of jobs and undermines coastal economies, with communities dependent on fishing facing uncertain futures as fish stocks dwindle.

Coral Reefs at Risk

Coral Reefs at Risk

Overfishing not only reduces fish populations but also devastates coral reefs, disrupting species diversity and weakening ecosystems' resilience to environmental changes.

Combating Overfishing

Combating Overfishing

From establishing more marine protected areas to investing in sustainable fishery management, effective solutions exist to mitigate the impact of overfishing.

What Can We Do?

What Can We Do?

Individual actions matter. Choosing sustainably sourced seafood and supporting conservation initiatives can help turn the tide against overfishing.
