Preview: ... hrough, then the fish population will be no better off then they are now. <br>Just like the environmentalists, the fishers who make a living catching these fish will have both positive and negative views of this plan as well. One positive aspect of this plan for fishers is that by implementing these restrictions, they are almost guaranteed to have plenty of fish to catch for years to come. Another positive of this plan to fishers is that the price of these fish will increase if the demand stays high and the supply of them is limited. On the other hand, fishers will view this plan negatively because now they have limitations on something that previously did not. As a result, they may be loosing money because they are not selling as much fish as before. <br>As if the fact that declining fish stock was not bad enough, the techniques used by todays fishers have other negative affects. Techniques such as dragging a large, heavy net along the sea floor to catch fish, known as bottom trawling, is one of the most destructive fishing practices. This technique of fishing is destroying the sea floor and many species that live down there. Because deep water life forms are very slow to ...

(bycatch, 2007) This would take time to develop and train but I think it could be done in 2-4 months<br>Inform the consumer As I sit down at the local Red Lobster, I often ask myself how many other people are sitting down at this moment eating the same seafood dish? Many people are unaware that the seafood dish that I have just been served is in danger of being over fished. I did not realize this until I started watching a Discovery Channel show called The Deadliest Catch. The men fish for King crab and other various ocean fish by using a quota system. This system only allows each boat in the fleet to catch a specified number of pounds. This number is set forth by the Alaskan Fish and Wildlife Conservation and provides a way to stop over fishing. Not being aware of the problem only adds to the issue so more information needs to be supplied to the consumer. 4-6 Months<br>You maybe asking yourself, Well, what can we do now? The answer is easier than you think. We must place quotas on all ocean species immediately. I understand that a quota will create a spike in seafood prices, and cou ...

Preview: ... fish and tuna. According to Pauly (2003), overfishing results from booms in human populations, increases in the demand for fish as a nutritious food, improvements in commercial fishing technology, and global and national policies that fail to encourage the sustainable management of fisheries. Left unchecked, this problem could result in the eventual extinction of these fishes.<br>Damages to the aquatic ecosystem result from several of the outright destructive techniques used by modern fishermen. Cyanide fishing receives much attention from environmentalists, as does the dynamiting of coral reefs, but dredging and trawling need to be put under some restraints as well. Up to 90% of what lands in a commercial fishing vessel by way of dredging and trawling is discarded as bycatch (Worm, 2007).<br>Several pieces of legislation have been enacted world-wide to help reduce the problem of overfishing. The U.N. Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) became effective in 1994 and is considered the constitution of the ocean, as its aim is to protect ocean resources; however, UNCLOS is only effective in deal ...
