Overfishing: Barrera, Felix Nathaniel D Bses 2-A

Overfishing is driven by population growth and technological advances that have increased fishing capacity without providing alternative livelihoods. This has led to 1) imbalanced marine ecosystems as fish populations are depleted faster than they can replenish, 2) endangered or extinct species as overfishing reduces populations that cannot recover in time, and 3) lack of provisioning services as fish are removed from the ecosystem. Responses to overfishing include implementing catch limit laws, educating fishers on sustainability, monitoring illegal fishing, and providing alternative livelihood programs.
