I'm not sure but I think overexploitation of fish is also a concern in Massachusetts. I wonder what other species would be impacted if fish went extinct. We don't really think something as simple as fish could be a concern, but losing them could have serious consequences.
How much of this do you think is due to commercial net fishing as opposed to fishermen who do it as a hobby? But hey, cool video! Help save the fish and all that! I'm pretty sure that there are organizations which you can donate to, or sometimes in your local communities they have little groups to help the fish locally (like the Mill Valley Stream Keepers in California). Also, if you buy fish at the market, try to make sure that you're supporting a fish farm, instead of a company that catches the wild fish.
If you think about it, without fish, most aquatic life will suffer. Fish are the main food source for many, many animals and their extinction will cause a drastic chain reaction, severely impacting other species. Commercial fishing is a dangerous and out of control industry, the main one causing this overexploitation. You said that "46 million dollars are being spent a year on fishing equipment." This is a lot of money that could go to much better causes. I think that important organizations should have more of a voice, and perhaps even our government should step in, because this is a very worrisome and extreme issue.
If fish go extinct I wonder how many other species and habitats will suffer from their extinction. And I think a solution could be, that the $46 billion dollars being spent on fishing equipment could be used to hel save the fish.

ReplyDeleteI noticed that a lot of fish were getting overexploited, I was wondering what area these fish were in?

ReplyDeleteSuper awesome video! I wonder what ordinary people can do to stop the overexploitation of fish?
