Fish or No Fish?

Good question.

We love fish for its health benefits but did you know -

​

• Overfishing harms other marine life by disrupting the food chain

​

• Oceans are being destroyed. Fishing industries leave a destructive path including a big problem with discarded fishing gear (like this trapped turtle on the left)

​

• Sea creatures are accidentally caught and die in fishing nets

​

• Fish populations are dwindling and the lack of biodiversity in our oceans caused by overfishing, along with contamination from aquafarms will have disastrous results on our oceans

​

• Experts predict fishless oceans by the year 2048

​

• Oceans regulate temperature and create 50% of our oxygen on earth 

​

• Fish feel pain
