Fish aren't the only things decreasing. Sharks eat the fish and if the fish are all gone then the sharks won't have anything left to eat. And it won't only be the fish and sharks all of the sealife that depends on anything revolving around fish then they will all die. We CAN"T let that happen!!!!!!!!!!

Will there ever be this many fish in the sea? Overfishing is decreasing this chance of getting our fish back into the sea.

This is what our oceans will look like because of overfishing. There will be no more beautiful sea life to see. Is this what we what our oceans to look like?

Are there really plenty of fish in the sea? Over fishing is the reason that we don't. But we can fix that by using sustainable alternatives.

Overfishing soon won't be a problem anymore if there are no fish. Most think that is good but that means you won't have any sealife on your plate. Many effects will come out of there being no overfishing. Some effects might be even worse than overfishing and overfishing is an enormous problem. already

Dear: Senator Stabenow

Ever since I was a little girl, I've gone to the ocean for vacation during the summer. I am going on another vacation soon, I am worried that I won’t be able to see the same beautiful ocean I have had all these years. I bet you like a view of the beautiful clear blue ocean with beautiful sea life. But overfishing is ruining these beautiful sights for future kids. You and I both know that our marine life needs to be conserved. So YOU need to put legislation over overfishing.

The problem is overfishing, overfishing is a huge obstacle. Not only for fish but for us. For example, “Currently less than 1% of the oceans are protected from any type of fishing.” (You can help stop overfishing) If these marine parks are protected they will slowly decrease. The author also stated, “Trawling drags huge nets across the ocean in its path, Resulting in massive by-catch dead fish thrown back into the sea because they weren’t the target. We don’t have any sea life to waste”. (You can…) This is more of a reason we need a solution to this problem. “Bans in Alaska and Chile are helping a lot fight overfishing” (You can…)These are 2 reasons why overfishing is a massive problem.

This is why YOU need to make legislation against overfishing. Try something more sustainable like hake or crab. According to the text,” Some changes to our diets are needed At the supermarket, think beyond the familiar fishes; try more sustainable alternatives.”(Plenty of fish in the sea maybe not) This shows that you can’t eat your favorite fish every day. Try once a month. The author stated, “In order to address overfishing, trawling needs to stop other fishing methods that catch fewer unwanted fish and marine animals instead.”(Plenty of…) This is just more evidence that supports that overfishing needs to stop. Sea life needs a safer habitat. So many fish and other sea life are endangered by overfishing.

Senator Stabenow, I know you love your oceans as much as I do. We both love looking at a beautiful ocean with beautiful sea life. So let's keep our oceans clean and healthy by making legislation against overfishing so the sea life population will increase instead of decrease. You can save our oceans and sea life and make family vacations fun.
