The Sustainability of Over Fishing Area A Hi‚ I’m Taylor and my sustainability project is on over fishing. Over fishing means “situations where one or more fish are reduced below their normal populations because of fishing activities”. This means that fish or fish’s population may be so over fished that it may not recover. So I am going to talk about ways we can still fish but in a more sustainable way. Area B Science‚ Math‚ and Technology can help my issue by leading up to it and possibly

Overfishing is “the act of catching fish from the oceans faster than the the fish can reproduce and replace the caught fish numbers. Modern day technology and hi-tech equipments have made it easy to catch a larger number of fish in a shorter span of time and with minimal effort. The more and more fish are caught the lesser they are found in the waters. This is one of the main reasons that fishermen have to travel longer distances deeper into the sea to catch fish.” Because of our rapidly expanding

slightly‚ this research is conclusive with that of The Water Brothers and supports their findings that such a large number of global fish stocks are depleted. Overfishing‚ when fish are caught faster than they can reproduce (Lee & Safina n.d.) has decimated marine ecosystems around the world. One of the leading contributors to overfishing is bottom trawling. This fishing technique uses weighted nets‚ which drag across the ocean floor‚ catching anything in its path. This is the most destructive method

1. Overfishing dramatically reduces the population of the fishes that are being targeted by fishing companies. For example‚ the Chinese have overfished their fish populations in the East China Sea‚ so now they are fishing illegally on Philippine‚ and Argentine waters. This is now a crisis because if they have overfished their population‚ then they will continue to do this on waters of many countries.

Commercial fishing and overfishing is a big problem to the aquatic animals in the world. In 1968 a cod (type of fish) catching industry got a highly industrialized fishing vessel‚ and was able to catch from about 500‚000 to 800‚000 tons of codfish in Labrador and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. In the 10 years to follow the cod population decreased to the point that‚ the amount of spawning cod out of Newfoundland in 1977 was a 94 percent drop from the amount in 1962. Another type of fish population

Because when we think of fish‚ we think of the millions or even billions of little or big swimming creatures in the huge ocean; how could there be a shortage? Overfishing is the answer. Overfishing is where we hunt fish faster than they can be replaced naturally; which causes the number to abate very quickly. People do not believe overfishing is a problem because it is not something you can easily see‚ unlike global warming. Global warming has visual evidence like melting snow and warming temperatures
