Overfishing

What is overfishing
Overfishing is something where fishermen fish to much out of a body of water (of any size)
So there is not much life left there.

How is it an environmental issue
Overfishing is a big problem for the environment because if there's a lot more overfishing happening then that would make their not much fish or sea life in an area or a body of water all together. Greenpeace.org have said that since overfishing has began since more fish have been dieing the population of jellyfish have almost doubled and now there are almost 2000 types of jellyfish and almost 300,000 different species of jellyfish yet to be discovered.

how a Christian should address your chosen issue in their daily lives.
I think that if many different christians try to stop overfishing by making a protest or taking it up with the laws of that country than lots more people would have to stop overfishing. But they could also just try to help the environment bit by bit and maybe try to describe to people what it does to the environment and

    In Marta Coll’s article “Ecosystem Overfishing in the Ocean”, she explains the global effects of deep-ocean overfishing. Coll describes how overfishing destroys fish populations, damages ocean ecosystems, and causes economic instability (2008, p. 1). Overfishing is the unsustainable harvest of fish for market. Fisheries are overfished to create more profits in the short term for fishermen, who collect a large percentage of a fish population to sell. The removal of the fish from the ecosystem destroys the entire food web, down to the trophic level (Coll, 2008, p.2).…

    When buying fish at the store or eating at a seafood restaurant most people don’t give much thought to where the food they’re eating came from beyond “the ocean.” Even less consideration is put into how the fish was caught or if the practice is sustainable. Today’s mentality is all about instant gratification regardless of future consequences, whether it be health or environmental risk. Many people may think the Ocean is an inexhaustible source of food because it covers over 70% of the Earths surface and is as deep as many of the largest mountains are tall. This assumption is incorrect and in part feeds into the reason why over-fishing occurs.…

    Agent Melina May, one of the antagonists on ABC’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. once said, “You can 't undo what 's been done. That will be with you forever. But trying to hold onto this life, clinging to the person you thought you could be - that 's hell” (“Repairs”). Agent May explained that it’s impossible to change the past, and that one must alter his or her lifestyle in order to avoid their future being consumed by it.

    The Journey of a Changed Heart Enlightenment generally comes in increments and rarely with the flash of the proverbial light bulb switching on. Scripture portrays truth as coming “line upon line, here a little, there a little” (The Holy Bible). Within Antonio Machado’s poem “Last Night As I Was Sleeping,” the reader travels through one person’s journey of religious awakening through the use of metaphor, diction, and symbolism. The poem describes baptism, conversion from wickedness to righteousness, recognition of the Spirit and finally understanding God’s love.…
