overfishing
tristen schwartz 2nd period
the gist
Ocean overfishing is simply the taking of wildlife from the sea at rates too high for fished species to replenish . The earliest overfishing occurred in the early 1800s when humans, seeking blubber for oil, decimated the whale population. Some fish that we eat, were also harvested to the brink of extinction by the mid-1900s.
Highly disruptive to the food chain, regional depletions became global and catastrofic by the late 20th century
why its bad
Overfishing is bad because it can have serious effects on the food chain and can damage the population of fish. Majority of the problems linked with overfishing have been caused in the past 50 years by the growing human population and fast advances in fishing technology.

overfishing
this is what happens when you over fish
38 years from now we will not have enough fish
why over fish
lets take a break from fishing and let the fish repopulate.
if we keep fishing like this we will have to find a different food source
dat fish
fishing is fine, in moderation. that much fish is bad for the enviroment
how it it effects us
the two main issues are it kills wild life in the ocean and it may wipe out fish population wich causes us to have to find a new food source. and the economy will crash due to the lack of fish. it will efect everyone . the cause is people because that is a big industry. wehther it is pollution or over fishing.
solutions
the solution is stop fishing so much. our ideas is that we can make the big fishing compinies do fish farms.
