Over-exploitation

Vedclass · Answer

(B) The decline in marine fish populations due to over-harvesting is a classic example of $Over-exploitation$. Humans have always depended on nature for food and shelter,but when 'need' turns to 'greed',it leads to over-exploitation of natural resources. Many species extinctions in the last $500$ years (e.g.,Steller's sea cow,passenger pigeon) were due to over-exploitation by humans. Currently,many marine fish populations around the world are being over-harvested,endangering the continued existence of some commercially important species.
