As global populations continue to grow and climate change alters the marine environment, marine fisheries will come under increasing pressure, especially considering that the majority of people in coastal developing nations depend upon fisheries as their main source of protein. However, fisheries also have negative impacts on marine species, habitats and ecosystem processes, and on other species such as marine mammals, seabirds and reptiles.
