Gulf Of Mexico: Overfishing In The Gulf
Overfishing in the Gulf of Mexico In recent years the fish and all the other marine animals that live in the Gulf have been affected by different natural disasters or disasters caused by us humans. For example, the most recent natural disaster that affected the lives of many marine animals in the Gulf was Hurricane Katrina in 2005, which caused the Gulf Coast entered the United States with lots of water and different types of animals from the gulf. This caused many fish to die and some to even become endangered. The human-caused event which also affected the Gulf was when thousands of tons of oil spilled into the gulf due to failures at the oil digging plant of BP. All these events may have been prevented perhaps but unfortunately, when BP

Other shellfish that live in the sea that survive thanks to fish in the Gulf and other seafood are being affected because their food is ending. Not only is it ending, but it is also out new competitors with the same because they do not have enough to eat then they are looking for elsewhere. An example of this is the famous "jellyfish". According to jellyfish is attacking the parts where overfishing is most common. This caused environmentalists to start having a lot of fear about what could happen to the ecological ecosystems. Borris Worm, University of Halifax and member of the Census of Marine Life project, told expansión.mx the following, "We are entering a time of great uncertainty. If we continue as before, in 50 years there may not be much to collect sea. Then, in a few words what it means is that the gaps left by the fisheries that are no longer available or very other fish or other marine animals are taking few; which eventually will also be in danger. There’s a problem I came across about fishing that caught my attention. Now, we know the effects that come with the overuse of oil and fossil fuels, so there are limitations to how much can be used and how much can dug for. According to worldwildlife.org, there are no current (or few) laws that pertain to fishing. Fishing laws just don’t seem to exist. Well, …show more content…
UNAM studied to know the exact terms influences the Gulf in Mexico and found surprising numbers. ln other words, almost half of the fish production is in the Gulf of Mexico. This would mean that if one day there was nothing to fish in the Gulf almost half of seafood production was scarce. Not only would that mean it would be but also many jobs would be lost. UNAM also talks about overfishing and how it affects not only the animals in the water, but also those living outside of it. "Moreover, as a result of overfishing have been observing changes in species composition, while the volume of commercially important decreases of non-trade increases. This has dramatic effects on other species, such as birds and marine mammals, which are heavily dependent on various fish stocks. " Birds, of course, also survive from fish and other things in the sea, but also may begin to feel affected by the problem of overfishing. This basically follows a chain, in a way. In my opinion, it goes as follows: As companies over fish, that affects everyone who they end up reaching as food. If there’s an overfishing at some part of the year, the other sea creatures that feed off fish, will have a lack of food for that part of the year. After that, humans who feed off the sea life will now have a lack of food as well. If there happens to be a scarcity of fish, the normal flow of fish intake will become
