TO OVERFISHING<br />

Our oceans and seas are being<br />

threatened and destroyed by<br />

human activities like marine<br />

pollution, overfishing, and<br />

destruction of marine habitats.<br />

Oceans cover three quarters of<br />

the earth's surface, and they are<br />

home to nearly 200,000 species.<br />

That marine and coastal<br />

biodiversity isn't just beautiful; it<br />

provides the livelihoods of more<br />

than 3 billion people. We can stop<br />

and reverse the damage we have<br />

done to our world's oceans if we<br />

act quickly to conserve and<br />

protect our marine resources and<br />

habitats.
