"The earliest over fishing occurred in the early 1800s when humans, seeking blubber for lamp oil, decimated the whale population. Some fish that we eat, including Atlantic cod and herring and California's sardines, were also harvested to the brink of extinction by the mid-1900s." (Ocean.nationalgeographic). It was a huge problem way before modern technology today. People started to fish a lot more. It soon turned into a global issue called "over fishing." To this day, over fishing is still a big concern all around the world.
