Overharvesting
Will the ocean ever run out of fish? by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Jennifer Jacquet
Action Step
- Watch the video with your child.
- Talk about what it means to overharvest and how it could negatively effect an environment.
- Think about ways that you could reduce overharvesting in your everyday life. (This could include not eating vulnerable species as mentioned in the video, but it could also include not picking a lot of wildflowers. Those flowers are needed for the plants to reproduce and many animals depend on them for food.)
- Post your ideas for reducing overharvesting in the facebook group!
