Impacts of Fishing

1. Fishermen: Once all the fish are gone from the oceans they wont be able to make living off of fishing.

    Consumers: Seafood restaurants will go out of business and people who live off eating fish will have a tough time finding ways to live without it.

    Governments: People will get angry at the government and blame them for not doing anything to help save the fish and therefor could change the results of future elections.

    Environment: The way of life in oceans could change for the worst if fish species start going extinct if not endangered already.

2. In New Zealand fishing is a pretty major industry. They have over 200 nautical miles of exclusive economic zone which gives fishermen special nights to fish. The zone has a rich and unusually complex underwater topography. It has over 15,000 marine species are known to live there, about ten percent of the world's diversity. Many of these are migratory species, but New Zealand's isolation means also that many of the marine species are unique to New Zealand. They have ran into endangering species, but never to a critical point. Climate change has affected it by rising water levels causing some unique species to get into the lakes and invading other fish species homes. Lots of the coastal fishing towns will run out of business and not as many tourists will come to New Zealand if they loose all their unique species.
