Yes, overfishing significantly affects turtles, particularly species like sea turtles that rely on marine ecosystems for survival. Overfishing depletes their food sources, such as jellyfish and seagrass, which can lead to malnutrition or starvation. Additionally, fishing gear can entangle turtles, resulting in injury or death. The decline of fish populations due to overfishing can disrupt the entire marine food web, further threatening turtle populations.
