What is overfishing?
Overfishing can be defined in a number of ways. However, everything comes down to one
point that describes it best. „Catching to much fish for the system to support leads to an
overall degradation to the system. Overfishing is a non-sustainable use of the oceans.“ In
other words overfishing is the fishing of so many fish, that not enough remain to breed and
replenish the population. Overfishing exceeds the carrying capacity of a fishery.
