Abstract
Overfishing and its impact on ecosystems have been showing increasing trends in recent years, under estimating the need for scientific management of global fishery resources to maintain their long-term sustainability for future generations. Many governments have outlawed trawling because it detrimental impact on the seabed and reduces diversity. We have to preserve the resources and protect the endangered and non-targeted species by sustainable harvesting methods.
