The Gulf of Cortez, the inside of the Baja peninsula has been over fished by illegal shark fishing. The top predator has been nearly wiped out. Now large schools of Humbolt Squid are attacking anything that is swimming in the water, including people.

In the Mediterranean, generational fishermen are starting to go away because of overfishing of Tuna. It's the only thing they know how to do but their ancestors didn't have the high tech equipment we have today, so they have caught too many and now this generation of fishermen are under strict quotas, which mean less money.

Cod used to be so abundant in the waters off of New England, it was THE fish. Now Cod is a regulated fishery.

In Florida, the tourist fishing industry is so important that they regulate a lot of species of fish. Some I bet you've never even heard of. Look up Florida's fishing regulations. This is all due to overfishing.
