With the change in climate, over fishing is threatening the world’s fish supplies. Diseases and parasites from farmed fish can spread to the wild species. Some farmers use antibiotics to control disease , which can only foster the growth of drug resistant bacteria as well.

If work is done to restore marine environments through pollution controls, strict fishing quotas, and a careful ecosystem management, it can be achieved.
