1. Overfishing is a major problem affecting many bodies of water like the Atlantic Ocean and areas around the Philippines. It disrupts ecosystems and can cause extinctions of species. 2. Techniques like bottom trawling that indiscriminately catch large amounts of fish and other sea life are very harmful. They destroy ocean habitats and catch unintended species as bycatch. 3. No-take zones that prohibit fishing have had some success in restoring ecosystems and increasing biodiversity and fish populations, which can also help fishing industries.
