Overfishing in the North Sea leads to the depletion of key fish species, disrupting the marine ecosystem and threatening biodiversity. The decline of important species, such as cod and haddock, affects not only the ecological balance but also the livelihoods of local fishing communities. Additionally, overfishing can result in economic losses due to reduced fish stocks and the increased costs of fishing efforts. Sustainable fishing practices are essential to restore fish populations and maintain the health of the North Sea ecosystem.
Fishing, in itself, does not cause a problem. Irresponsible and overfishing may do so.
You have already caught about 50 fishes today. You are overfishing!
yes
Bad for food chain
Herring was the first fish to be over fished to the point of collapse of the fishery. Now many more species are affected particularly the Cod.
well a dolphin could get a plastic can ring stuck on his throat and die from suffocate caused by the plastic can ring.
because this affects the fod chain.
Yes they do, but not as many as there should be, due to overfishing.
By keeping the seas clear of junk, and by stopping overfishing and whaling.
no. The sea dragon eats plangton and other small organisms so overfishing does not affect it.
An overfishing of herring can disrupt the food chain and remove a key predator of sea urchins. With fewer herring to feed on sea urchins, their populations can increase unchecked leading to ecosystem imbalance and potentially to overgrazing on kelp forests where sea urchins feed.
