Issues Facing Game Fish Habitats
Plastic pollution, aquatic invasive species, poor water quality, nutrient overload, and habitat loss are just a few issues facing game fish habitats in both fresh and saltwater. These are not just problems facing the oceans as the land and sea are connected. These are; however, growing global issues. With every problem, there can be a solution. As ethical anglers, and a conservation-driven community, we can be part of the solution and turn the tide on destruction to game fish habitats.
