As long as fish can be sold for money, some people will catch as much as they can for more money.
Candido Kohler
People overfish because of various reasons, including economic incentives, lack of regulations or enforcement, and unsustainable fishing practices. Many fishing communities rely on fishing for their livelihoods and may prioritize short-term economic gains over long-term sustainability. Additionally, weak or absent regulations and enforcement allow for illegal and unregulated fishing activities to persist, further depleting fish populations. Unsustainable fishing practices such as using destructive gear or targeting vulnerable species also contribute to overfishing.
