Overfishing occurs when fish are caught at a rate faster than they can reproduce, leading to a decline in fish populations. This practice threatens marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities that depend on fishing. Overfishing can result in the collapse of fish stocks, disrupting the balance of ocean life and affecting biodiversity. The consequences of overfishing extend beyond the ocean. It impacts food security, as many people rely on fish as a primary source of protein. Sustainable fishing practices and effective management are essential to ensure that fish populations can recover and thrive for future generations.
