Is overfishing a social issue?

Answer 1

Only indirectly. It's mainly an economic issue.

Answer 2

Okay, so the same would go for any environmental issues?

Answer 3

Not necessarily.

Answer 4

what would be an environmental issue that is directly a social issue?
animal conservation?

Answer 5

The first example that comes to mind is land use in some protected areas. Can people with motor vehicles -- especially OTRs -- exist in the same area as environmental preservation?
