Overfishing has led to a significant decline in fish

populations worldwide. As fishing practices have
become more advanced, large quantities of fish are
caught at a rate faster than they can reproduce. This
decline has disrupted marine ecosystems, causing a
decrease in marine biodiversity. As a result, many
species are now on the brink of extinction, which
affects the food chain and local economies that
depend on fishing.
