Over fishing
Too fill our needs of food we have started to over fish, over fishing is when Fish are being over fished. This is happening because
humans have such a high demand for the fish that the fishers take everything
they can and think of a quick profit which isn’t healthy for the future. This
is very bad if we still want to have fish to eat in the future. By over fishing
the fish are not having enough time to mate and reproduce as quickly as we are
fishing them, causing schools of fish to get whipped out in a matter of moments
and there being no fish left to start the school all over again.
Heres a quick little quiz on over fishing, CLICK HERE Global warmingGlobal warming impacts all life on Earth, and the oceans are no exception. From coral bleaching to sea level rise and higher ocean temperatures, entire ecosystems are rapidly changing, and animals are having a difficult time surviving the impacts. The effects are already beginning to be felt. Whole species of marine animals and fish are at risk due to the temperature rise - they simply cannot survive in the changed conditions.

Factory fishingGiant factory ships are using state-of-the-art equipment to locate and literally vacuum entire schools of fish out of the water. These industrial fishing fleets target one species at a time, until numbers are so low, that they turn to another species, decimating the entire ocean food chain and threatening the very future of our oceans. ByCatchEvery year, fishing nets kill up to 300,000 whales, dolphins and porpoises around the world. Fishing nets pose the greatest threat to the survival of many species. In fact, some fishing practices destroy entire habitats, as well as inhabitants. Bottom trawling is a fishing method that drags heavy metal chains across the ocean floor, destroying ancient deep-sea coral forests and other delicate ecosystems.
