Fishing also has impacts on broader ecosystems

Fishing also has impacts on broader ecosystems.Wild shrimp are typically caught by dragging nets the size of a football field along the ocean bottom,disrupting or destroying seafloor habitats.The catch is often as little as 5% shrimp.The rest is by-catch, unwanted animals that are thrown back dead.And coastal shrimp farming isn't much better.Mangroves are bulldozed to make room for shrimp farms,robbing coastal communities of storm protection and natural water filtration and depriving fish of key nursery habitats.
