Question: Over-fishing has become a very common practice in many countries. ● Why is so? ● What do you think are the effects of over-fishing?
The major business for the community staying in the coastal areas is fishing across the nations
due to
the huge demand for fish
across the world. To fulfill the demands at a great level, many countries are practicing overfishing which has significant negative impacts on marine
life
. This
essay outlines some of the reasons for overfishing and the impacts of this
.
Firstly
, the consumption of fish
has increased worldwide due to
its nutritional values like omega, fatty acids, and protein which are good for the health of all age groups. Additionally
, there is a huge demand for fish
oil among athletes since it helps in muscle recovery. Moreover
, fishing is the only source of income for people staying in coastal areas apart from tourism therefore
overfishing is happening. For instance
, as per the survey conducted by many nations in coastal areas, the outcome states that it will be difficult to survive for individuals if they leave the business of fishing since tourism businesses are highly impacted during monsoon in those regions.
Secondly
, it is causing an imbalance in the marine
ecosystem as many aquatic animals are now listed as endangered animals due to
overfishing and water pollution. It also
has negative socio-economic impacts since targeted fishing can result in a population decrease of fish
like tuna and impact the supply of such
fish
in markets, thus
affecting the livelihood of the community involved in this
business.
To conclude
, 70% of the earth is covered with water and marine
life
. Any kind of imbalance in aquatic life
will have a huge impact on the other species of the globe. Therefore
, it is essential to protect marine
life
from pollution and overfishing. Therefore
, governments should come forward and provide subsidies to people staying in coastal regions to start some businesses or create some measures to allow only a limited amount of fishing.Submitted by sharmabrijesh39 on
