Sustainable Fishing Practices

After finishing the last part of the video list 3 things we can do to fix this issue.

How do we do this…• Market Place

– Read labels• Economic Incentives

– TEDs– Round hooks– No more subsidies

• Regulatory Approaches– IWC– Japan Whaling Research– Exclusive Economic Zones vs. high seas– Marine Protected Areas (MPA’s)

Aquacultures aka Blue Revolution

Advantages • Possibly support 50% of

world’s seafood need.• Low fuel cost• High yield in low volume of

water• Reduces overharvesting

Disadvantages

• Large waste output• Destroy habitats• Uses grain to feed some species• Dense populations susceptible

to disease.• Escapes
