Human Impact: Overfishing

Boost research and analysis skills while exploring the impact overfishing has on the environment with this engaging science worksheet! Overfishing occurs when a species of fish is harvested faster than the fish can reproduce. In this environmental science worksheet, middle school students will conduct research in order to learn more about the causes and effects of overfishing. Young scientists will investigate how overfishing has become a problem in recent years, research how overfishing affects the environment, and propose solutions for addressing the problem.
