Overfishing is a big problem in America. Overfishing reduces the number of fish stock. There are several different reasons that overfishing occurs. One way that the federal fisheries agency is trying to prevent overfishing is by keeping illegal fishing boats from entering the U.S. The illegal fishing boats contribute to overfishing and can hurt the livelihood of legal fishers. One current proposal is to make it illegal for people to do business with illegal fishing boats. Another part of the proposal is to prevent illegal fishing boats from entering through U. S. ports. I think it can be difficult to cut down on illegal fishing. This proposal seems to be a good way to start reducing it. Illegal fishing is unfair to all of the fishing boats and owners who do follow all of the fishing regulations and guidelines.
