One square meter of coral reef is lost with every fish captured using this method. Also, overfishing has the potential to deplete main reef habitats and damage coral habitat. In many places, rapid human population growth, increased demand, the use of more advanced fishery technology, and insufficient maintenance and regulation have resulted in the extinction of key coral species and habitat damage.
