The incessant raid on the Atlantic Ocean has led to alarming levels of overfishing and exploitation of marine resources. Industrial-scale fishing operations, driven by insatiable demand for seafood and economic incentives, have decimated fish populations, particularly tuna, cod, and sharks. Bycatch, the unintentional capture of non-target species, further exacerbates the ecological imbalance. This unsustainable exploitation has not only depleted the ocean's biodiversity but also threatens the livelihoods of coastal communities dependent on fishing. The decline of fish stocks has cascading effects on the entire marine ecosystem, disrupting food chains and affecting the health of the ocean's environment. Urgent action is needed to implement sustainable fishing practices, protect marine habitats, and restore the balance of the Atlantic Ocean before its resources are irrevocably lost.
