What is Over Fishing?

     Over fishing is a huge problem, but it basically means: catching more fish than the system can support. We are losing species as well as entire ecosystems. As a result the overall ecological unity of our oceans is under stress and at risk of collapse. We are at risk of losing a valuable food source many depend upon for social or economic reasons. “52% of fish stocks are fully exploited, 20% are moderately exploited, 17% are over exploited, 7% are depleted and 1% is recovering from depletion. Over the last 50 years predatory fish, such as sharks, swordfish, and tuna have reduced an estimated 90% in population." Over fishing is obviously getting out of hand. All our beloved fish will be gone by the year 2048 if we don't do something to stop this.
