I remember just last year fishing off of the coast of Alaska. Ten foot waves crashing into my face 50 M.P.H winds stinging my skin. A summer storm off the coast of Alaska. Alot of commercial fishing is done around the world. Commercial fishing is a big part of how the world gets its sea food,but it has a lot of bad effects on the environment. Trolling, over fishing, and by-catch all have very bad effects.
Bottom Trawling is a method of fishing that involves a net that can be miles long.When you trawl on the bottom of the sea you drag a big net on the sea floor witch can kill coral. Coral is home to m

habitat and environment.
Overfishing is also bad for the environment. There are laws and regulations for how much fish you can catch. Commercial fishermen over fish all the time. Theres
not enough fish to mate and come back next season.70% of all fish species are over exported. a total of 95 tons of fish are caught each year.
not enough fish to mate and come back next season.70% of all fish species are over exported. a total of 95 tons of fish are caught each year. The good news about this is that we can change. If we work hard to strengthen the regulations we have now, then we make new laws to stop by-catch and make trawling an eco- friendly way to catch fish.
