Environmental Issues with Fishing

Environmental Issues with Fishing

The ocean is one of the often overlooked places of pollution and environmental issues. Maybe it's because it's so big, or because we simply don't see the affects as much as the affects of pollution on land. However, there are several environmental issues with commercial fishing.

First and foremost, certain fishing techniques can damage the habitats of fish. Things like dynamite fishing, cyanide fishing and bottom trawling are big problems. Dynamite fishing is the practice of using explosives to stun or kill schools of fish for easy collection. Cyanide fishing is spraying coral reefs with cyanide and collecting the fish that become poisoned from eating from them. Bottom trawling is dragging a net underneath a boat to catch fish. It is estimated 95% of the damage to sea mountain ecosystems is a result of deep sea bottom trawling.

Overfishing is also a huge problem. Species of fish are quickly becoming extinct, and it is estimated 70% of the world's fish species are depleted. By-catch (catching what you did not intend to, like dolphins) is also a problem. Often they are killed and discarded.

Just like with the ecosystem, the underwater ecosystem is a balance, and minor changes in the balance can impact the entire ecosystem.
