Question

How does overfishing affect the Great Barrier Reef?

Answer 1

over fishing means that a primary food source for other animals is now limited due to over fishing and that the fish population is slowly decreasing, and it can interrupt the food web.

Answer 2

Overfishing leads to declines in fish populations, ecosystem-wide impacts, and impacts on dependent human communities. In addition fishers often break corals when attempting to extract the stunned fish,causing further damage to the coral reef ecosystem.
