INTRODUCTION – Why is this a Global Justice Issue?

Overfishing is the process of catching too many fish at once, so that the breeding population becomes too depleted to recover. This usually goes hand-in-hand with wasteful types of commercial fishing which net massive amounts of unwanted marine life which are then discarded. Fish that once seemed an inexhaustible source of food are now almost everywhere in decline.
