The main cause of overfishing is the excessive demand for fish and seafood driven by human consumption and economic interests. This demand leads to unsustainable fishing practices, including the use of advanced technology that allows for large-scale catches and the depletion of fish populations faster than they can reproduce. Additionally, inadequate regulations and enforcement, along with illegal fishing practices, exacerbate the problem by allowing over-exploitation of marine resources. As a result, many fish stocks are pushed to critical levels, threatening marine ecosystems and the livelihoods of communities that depend on fishing.
