THEN:
Answer the following questions:
1. What are some statistics that really made an impact on you?
2.What are some possible solutions to this problem?
3. What does this article mean to you? Does it change your view on eating fish?
Some of the statistics that made an impact are that 7% are depleted and that only 1% are recovering from it. One solution would be to post new limits and restrictions on how much of a certain fishery can be fished and have people to enforce it. This article did not really change my view on eating fish because the fish are still going to get caught but it makes me think that something needs to be done to fix this problem so we don't waste fish.
ReplyDeleteThere were two statistics that really stood out to me. The first one is that 52% of fish stocks are fully exploited. The second interesting fact is that 1% is recovering from depletion. some possible solution to this problem is protecting more species of fish, shortening fishing seasons, and creating stricter laws on amount of fish that can be caught per day. This article means that there is a large demand for fish, causing overfishing to meet that demand. my view is changed because if we didn't want such a high demand of fish they would not need to be overfished.
ReplyDelete1.) Some of the statistics that shocked me were that over 80% of all the world's fish stocks are over fished and that only 1% is recovering from depletion.
ReplyDelete2.)Some solutions to the issue of overfishing are tighter government regulations on fishing with severe punishments such as seizure of boats.
3.)The article scares me because I am realizing that the world's ecosystems could be severely damaged or destroyed in my lifetime. When purchasing fish I will try to make sure the fish is either farmed or fished according to laws that protect current fisheries.
1. The statistics that really made an impact on me was: “Worldwide about 90% of the stocks of large predatory fish stocks are already gone”, and “25% of all the world's fish stocks are either overexploited or depleted”.
ReplyDelete2. Some possible solutions to the problem are to be aware of which species are extremely depleted and not fish them. Let them replenish and then continue fishing, but not to such an extent that they are extremely depleted once again, stay away from the vicious circle.
3. This article confirms what I’ve always wondered. I do not eat fish but I think that people need to really be aware that when they eat all of this fish theirs a very high possibility that in 50 years there will be no more fish of that species.
1.) Some statistics that really made an impact on me was the fact that 80% of the wolrds fisheries are depleted or in a state of collapse. This seems like such a large percentage that it cant be true...
ReplyDelete2.) Some possible solutions to these problems are to watch what fish you eat and to choose the fish that have been impacted the lowest.
3.) I have never been a huge fan of fish so I don's eat it very often, but this article shows me just how mush people do eat fish and how much they are impacting the environment by doing so.
Some of the statistics that impacted me was that seven percent of the fish caught were depleted. And that with all the over fishing we are losing many species of fish entirely and this upsets the whole oceans eco system. Some possible solutions are fishing responsibly and watching out and telling others to fish responsibly. This article doesn't change my view on eating fish. I love fish and i don't plan on not eating it.
ReplyDeleteThe statistics that made and impact on me the most were that 52% of fish stocks are fully exploited. Only 1% is recovering from depletion, 5% of all the world's fish stocks are either overexploited or depleted. And, another 52% is fully exploited. It also shocked me that a total of almost 80% of the world's fisheries are fully- to over-exploited, depleted, or in a state of collapse. Worldwide about 90% of the stocks of large predatory fish stocks are already gone. One possible solution to this problem is to let the ecosystems reestablish themselves. Meaning, they should stop fishing the fish that are almost gone so they can repopulate. No, this has not changed my view on eating fish because there will still be fish for us to eat, maybe just not as much as we would like.
ReplyDelete1. The statistic that made the biggest impact on me was a that 7% are depleting and 1% is recovering from depletion.
ReplyDelete2. One solution to change this ridiculously low percentage would be to maybe add new laws ageist fishing for a very low fishery in certain seasons. By finding out the different numbers of stock of a low fishery in the different seasons, marine biologists can determine when the fishery is too depleted and would be a bad time to fish or when the fishery is at its fullest and fishing for it wont cause a devastating depletion.
3. This article didn't change my view on eating fish because I don't eat fish anyways, however its did make me feel bad for the depleting amounts of fisheries. :/
1) The most interesting statistics I found was the fact that 80% of the worlds fisheries are depleted and that only 1% is recovering form that depletion.
ReplyDelete2) Some possible solutions might be to give all the fisheries a break and perhaps temporarily restricting the fishing of some areas. Perhaps a system could be put in place where certain areas could be fished at one time but restricted at another?
3) I don't like to eat fish very much and sushi is a every once in a while treat ( maybe like once or twice a year) so it doesn't effect me to much as far as consumtion goes. However, I do worry about the people who make their lives off of fishing. I'm concerned for their well being.
1- The statistic that made the most impact on me was that almost 80% of the work's fisheries are in a state of collapse, yet only 1% are recovering.
ReplyDelete2-Some possible solutions to the problem are limiting the number of fish caught, protecting the number of fish unintentionally killed or discarded, and protecting the ocean habitat.
3- This article means to me that people care more about the profit and money than the earth and the consequences of their actions. As a consumer it makes me more aware of the rarity fish is, and how it is a treat. Also, the treat comes with a price.
some statistics that made an impact on me was that are losing species as well as entire ecosystems. also that we in danger of losing a valuable food source. some possible solutions to these problems is to stop over fishing and to catch what you need. this will help people to get the right amount and also help the fish to thrive. what this article means to me is that us people are catching way to much fish that is not needed. i dont think people eat half of what they cost. the fish probably go to waste and never get eaten. yes it does change the way i eat fish, now i will only order how ever much i can eat and never order to much.
ReplyDelete1) the most important statistics that shocked me was that 90% of the fish stocks are already gone and on 1% is recovering.
ReplyDelete2)Solutions to this situation would be to spread the news for the people to realize the fish stocks and put a limitation on catching fish.
3)I realize the rareness of the types of fish out there, and even though I love fish, now I know the economic fishing problems so I'm going to put limits for myself to help out the economic problems in this world.

ReplyDelete1. The statistic that shocked me the most was that 80% of the worlds fisheries are fully- to over-exploited.
ReplyDelete2.Solutions to this problem is to spread the word to people to let them realize the problem.
3. It does effect my view on eating fish, so from now on I will only have the amount that I think I can have and never over order or waste it.
The statistic that was most shocking to me was 90% of the stocks of large predatory fish stocks are already gone. Also that a total of 80% of fisheries are fully depleted. A soulution to end this would be to set rules or laws on how much can be fished or what type of fish should not be kept for fisheries. It does not really change my view on fish because i really enjoy eating fish, especially sushi. Eating sushi is a like a treat, but i believe fish should not be wasted or used for selfish purposes.
