The Perils of Overfishing
Large predatory fish stocks around the world are declining at an alarming rate. In fact, roughly 90% of apex fish are already gone. The overexploitation of predatory fish such as tuna is having a catastrophic affect on marine life and the ecosystems. Unfortunately, this also impacts human livelihood and the people who rely on fish as a source of protein.
This project aims to advocate and bring awareness to user shopping habits pertaining to certain species of fish. By informing people about the long-term economic consequences of this issue, it can put pressure on grocery stores to stop selling at-risk species and force governments to create policies that help protect declining fish stock.
