| The unsustainable overfishing of keystone species, such as the giant Triton, can disrupt food chains vital to reef life. | WIKI |
| Fishing also impacts the reef through increased water pollution from boats, by-catch of unwanted species (such as dolphins and turtles) and habitat destruction from trawling, anchors and nets. | WIKI |
| [77] As of the middle of 2004, approximately one-third of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park is protected from species removal of any kind, including fishing, without written permission. | WIKI |
