Overfishing is a rapidly growing problem that needs to be addressed. If this problem is continued to be condoned, it can potentially lead to many devastating things. One person out of every five people rely on fish to get the necessary amounts of protein in their diets. Over two million people depend on fish. However, about 70% of all the species of fish in the world are gradually becoming depleted or already are depleted. Over time, overfishing may end the world's supply of fish. Humans will not be the only people that suffer from this though. The diets of many aquatic creatures consist largely of fish. The population of these fish-eating animals might begin to decline, leading to disrupted trophic levels. Since so many people eat fish, the price of this product has been increasing at a very fast rate. Soon enough, the price of fish will extremely expensive. Then, not only will there be a small amount of fish to eat, it will also be sold at a very high price.
