Overfishing

Did you know that study shows that all the world's fisheries will collapse by 2048 if nothing changes and unsustainable fishing rates continue? Today the share of fish stocks are pushed beyond their biological limits - meaning we catch fish faster than they can reproduce to sustain population levels. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the world’s authority on fisheries, 34.2% of fisheries are overfished.

If we want to preserve the ecosystems of the sea, change is needed. In this project we will visualize worldwide fishing and fish consumption data for a better understanding of the overfishing problem.

Have a look at the visualizations.
