In this episode, we discuss fishing concerns and sustainable fishing.

Overfishing is causing significant drops in fish populations worldwide, impacting the livelihoods of fishermen and threatening food security. These declines also disrupt ocean ecosystems and put numerous fish species in danger of extinction. 

The episode highlights sustainable fishing practices as a solution, including using appropriate net sizes to allow juvenile fish to mature. Fishing quotas that restrict the amount and size of fish caught can help to reduce the negative effects of overfishing.
