Oblivious to the impact of our food, we humans became the catalyst to Earth’s destruction. Though the problem may seem trivial compared with other world-problems, overfishing causes a rippling effect on our daily lives yet it’s not talked about enough in today’s era of activism. As a student who just started exploring the ocean, Evelyn worries about the future. Will we have a future? In the past few months, she has watched several documentaries to learn more about the ocean, and although she did find great wonders, it was inevitable that she was hit by the hard truth of this: our oceans are dying, we are dying. Evelyn hopes to inform and bring awareness to others about this detrimental issue that is deeply integrated in our society and start the first step towards a more empathetic society which cares for the well-being of the organisms around us.
