Effect

After we realized the seriousness of overfishing, we thought about its problems and solutions, and we thought about the climate change and the positive future environment that we could get if overfishing were to shrink or disappear at a large rate.

Finishing overfishing helps the ocean withstand the effects of climate change.

Overfishing weakens the ocean's ability to adapt, so when overfishing is over, healthy oceans will better withstand the disturbances caused by climate change.

An effort to end overfishing

Our Fish, an organization advocating an end to overfishing, says it is working to get European members to implement common fisheries policies to achieve sustainable fish resources.

Marine BIOMASS

Overfishing is the result of capturing targeted species beyond sustainable levels, as well as collateral capture of non-target species. Overfishing has been widely accepted as a direct pressure and major risk to the marine environment and marine health, greatly reducing fish biomass in the ocean.

Biomass is an energy converted from marine algae, that is, large algae and microalgae, and is called an alternative energy source for transportation fuel. It can be seen as a renewable biofuel that can be actively replaced by climate change. Increasing marine biomass will have a significant impact on climate change as much of the Earth is the ocean, as the amount of carbon in the atmosphere will also be isolated.

Most of the damage suffered by the ocean up until now has been caused by local insults - overfishing, pollution, and destruction of habitats. If we tackle these problems now, we buy ourselves time to work on climate change.
