Overfishing has several harmful effects on marine ecosystems. Some of these effects include the depletion of fish populations, disrupting the balance of marine food chains, causing changes in the structure of marine communities, and impacting the overall health of marine ecosystems. Overfishing can also lead to the decline of certain species, loss of biodiversity, and disruption of habitats. Additionally, it can have economic consequences for fishing industries and coastal communities that rely on fisheries for their livelihoods.
