As I saw the presentation and dicussed about overfishing in last class, I realized that the problem from overfishing is serious than I thought before. We have many problems connected to Over-Fishing. Among them, our team decided to most serious problem is destruction of eco-system. Other problems like Starvation or job loss are not closely connected aspect of Over-Fishing. In case, overfishing one kind of fish causes an unbalance in the whole ocean food chain. If we catch only the predator fish then the amount of it will decrease and the small fish like anchovy will increase. The explosion of one level brings about the extinction of the under level’s species. As every system is interacted each other, we can’t live without we are not considered these systems.
We can unravel the problem of overfishing globally and individually. As an individual, we need to change our appetite regarding eating fish. Instead of eating salmon, we can eat anchovy, small fish. The global efforts are more powerful than individual’s. the government located near the ocean should decreed global regulations to control the catching rate and make several protected areas.
Same as me, I never consider overfishing is serious, but I realized it is serious after Morgan’s presentation.
