Global Issues

Global Issues are problems that either impact the entire world or are happening all around the globe, such as racism/stereotyping, overfishing/hunting, or over foresting, and disease. I'm interested in overfishing because the effects of overfishing are so vast, such as the food web in the ocean and on land crumbling, also having an effect on resources given by fish, such as fish oils and meat, being limited because of the inevitable disappearance of fish. I would probably raise awareness of this issue by trying to do something that stand out. The people that are involved are fishers and commercial fishers, and overfishing has a big effect because people are capturing the fish before they can mate and lay eggs. Overfishing is happening all around the world, and is happening at any time, considering fishing is done all around the world at this current time. People fish because of the resources that fish give, such as fish oils and meat from fish. I think overfishing should be stopped and fishing be more regulated, because if this keeps going on, hundreds of species of fish will become extinct.
