Problem B Overfishing
It is common that fish and other seafood become overfished, as there is a high level of competition
among fishermen to get their nets in the water. While vacationing in North Carolina, shrimp for sale at
the fish market were not from their typical locations off the coast of the Carolinas. The shrimp were
imported as the shrimpers had overfished the nearby waters leaving very few shrimp to harvest.
Brainstorm how society would typically attempt to solve the problem of the overfishing and how the
solution would be intended to work. Prepare to explain your answer.
