Impact of Fishing

PART A

Fishermen: The amount of over fishing made by fishermen mean less and less fish being available for them to fish because of the amount of fish being caught.

Consumers: 90% percent of fish caught are eaten. When the fish are over fished, later generations won't get the luxury to know what fish is or get to eat fish at all.

Governments: the governments are getting more and more pressured to limit the fish being caught in their own country waters to a certain level where their populations stabilize and do not diminish and become endangered.

The Environment: With the fish becoming more and more endangered, species that fish eat like plankton for example, become more and more populated in the waters. If it keeps going like it is going, waters in the world may turn green from the amount of plankton and algae in the waters.




PART B:

Italy is one of the major fishing countries in the world, thanks to it being around the Mediterranean Sea. Since it has one of the major fishing industries, it does over fish quite a bit. It's also affected by the Mediterranean Sea heating up in deep and shallow waters due to climate change in the region. The species depletion hasn't affected Italy as bad as other countries, as other species with short-life spans and adapt towards warmer waters have adjusted in the Mediterranean.
