Overfishing The wrath of mankind!

What the *@%! is Overfishing?

Overfishing occurs when fish stocks are reduced below an acceptable level.

Overfishing occurs when fish stocks are reduced below an acceptable level. This can occur in any body of water, from a pond to the oceans.

Why is overfishing a problem?

Why is overfishing a problem? 52% of fish stocks are fully exploited 20% are moderately exploited 17% are overexploited 7% are depleted 1% is recovering from depletion

Who’s stealing our fish?

Who’s stealing our fish? Worldwide, fishing fleets are two to three times as large as our oceans can maintain support.

The wheel of fishing And the problem it poses to humanoids

Overfishing of Krill

Overfishing of Krill krill is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that Norwegian and Canadian companies sell in pills.

Much life in the ocean depends on Krill. Overfishing of Krill krill is rich in omega-3 fatty acids that Norwegian and Canadian companies sell in pills. Much life in the ocean depends on Krill.

Who can save us?

Who can save us? Barack Obama could protect ocean wildlife and save jobs in commercial fisheries by ending widespread overfishing

If we don’t do anything Scientists have predicted that all current salt-water fish and seafood species may collapse as early as 2048.
