2- During the 19th century, it was common to hear people in Europe and America say that the resources of the sea are unlimited For example, a noted biologist writing in the mid-19th century commented that none of the great sea fisheries is to be exhausted Today though, there is evidence that the resources of the sea are as seriously as those of the land and the air, and that the endangered species include Herring and Carp as well as the African Elephant, Indian Tiger, and the American Eagle

Further, the threats to fish are more alarming in some ways than the threats to animals and birds

This is because fishes are a much needed food resource and people throughout the world depend on fish as an important part of their dish, and the decline in the fish supply could have extensive effects on hunger and population Fishermen in the North Atlantic alone annually harvest 20 billion pounds of fish to satisfy food demands, but it is important to recognize that these practices cannot continue without depleting fish storage within the next few years Sea resources are rapidly declining in many parts of the world, and the problem cannot be ignored

We can predict that food supplies in the sea cannot last forever

48 What purpose does the author mention the endangered species for?
