The primary concern associated with depleting fish stocks is the risk to marine ecosystems and food security. Overfishing can lead to a collapse of fish populations, disrupting the balance of the marine environment. This decline not only threatens the species themselves but also affects other marine life dependent on these fish. Furthermore, communities relying on fishing for their livelihood face economic instability. Sustainable management and conservation strategies are essential to ensure fish populations remain viable, thereby protecting both ecological health and human well-being.
