Overfishing has become a major concern in our world today. What some people don't understand is that when fishing boats use giant trawl nets to catch a large amount of fish, they can also catch by-catch, which are marine animals that are accidentally caught when using these big nets. These animals are taken out of their homes when they weren't even supposed to. Also, it takes more smaller fish to catch and feed fewer bigger fish. If we keep this up we could completely wipe out species of fish. That means less seafood for us to each, which is a great source of protein. We can help by supporting our politicians to speak up and stop using trawl nets and support local fisheries.
