Commercial fishing has significant environmental implications for marine ecosystems. The immense fishing activity worldwide has led to overfishing in many areas, depleting fish populations and disrupting the delicate balance of marine ecosystems. By interfering with the natural food chain, commercial fishing practices often cause harm to other species, such as seabirds, marine mammals, and non-target fish, through bycatch. Beyond overfishing, destructive fishing methods like bottom trawling damage essential habitats such as coral reefs and seafloors, disturbing complex ecosystems that support countless marine organisms. The excessive use of fishing gear, such as nets, traps, and lines, contributes to pollution in oceans, harming marine life and their habitats. To secure the future of marine ecosystems, sustainable fishing practices and stricter regulations are crucial to protect vulnerable species, preserve biodiversity, and restore the balance within these delicate and vital ecosystems.
