Extinction is a natural part of our Earth’s history, but today species are becoming extinct faster than ever. Every year, new species are becoming threatened with extinction. World population is increasing by millions each year. All of us are using more and more resources, leaving fewer resources for Earth’s other species.Every year, people catch about 85 million tons of fish and other marine animals. Fishing has become so intensive that many marine populations are shrinking. These species cannot recover quickly enough to survive constant overfishing.

Over the past 50 years, 90 percent of large fish in the world's oceans have disappeared. We are overfishing ourselves to death. It's bad for the environment, bad for species, bad for jobs, and bad for the economy, yet still we keep doing it.
