Abstract

The threat of overfishing has intensified worldwide in recent decades, as fishing technologies advance and demand for seafood soars. It has been proven that solutions for overfishing are challenging. New technologies are under development to avert the potential for major environment deteriorates and financial turmoil. System thinking, which emphasizes interconnection, has been proposed for handling complex systems. System thinking approaches to resolve overfishing have received increased attention. This paper reviews the ongoing overfishing and system thinking approaches to build the foundations for stable, enduringly healthy, and sustainable oceanic ecosystems, aimed at promoting awareness of the increasing importance and urgency of system thinking to more complex social, environmental, and economic problems.
