Why do you think many fishermen resent observers

Reference no: EM132851456

Part One

Referring to the reading on New England Fisheries for this week, please respond to one of the prompts below:

Question 1. Why do you think so much money and effort (by the federal government, politicians, scientists, fishermen, industry, NGOs, etc) is put into saving New England's (groudfish) fishery (i.e. why not just stop all fishing until the stocks recover completely?)? Many fisheries scientists have dedicated their whole careers to sustainable fisheries management; why do you think they are so distrusted in New England? If New England's regulations are based on the "best science", why aren't the fisheries recovering as the models predict they should with low quotas?

Question 2. Why do you think many fishermen resent observers and electronic monitoring on board their boats? Scientists and managers argue that they cannot do their jobs without this information, but fishermen say that it is expensive (they will have to pay for soon, covered by the government right now still) and invasive and demoralizing. Should they accept it as part of the industry?

Question 3. Compose and answer your own prompt that matches the quality of questions and responses required from above. This option is for when you got something out of the reading that you want to write about, but that I did not ask about.

Part two

Pick ONE of the ocean threat's listed in the reading on the website Medium by Carl Safina (overfishing, aquaculture, toxic chemical pollutants, algal blooms (eutrophication from nutrient runoff), habitat loss, river dams stopping anadromous fish like salmon, coral reef degradation, warming ocean waters, ocean acidification, invasive species, ocean drilling and mining, underwater noise, declining ocean productivity, plastics pollution)

2. Find and view/read a website and/or short documentary video posted by an organization such as the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), NOAA, a big non-governmental agency like Oceana, Pew Charitable Trusts, The Nature Conservancy, or a smaller, local conservation non-profit, or an aquarium like Monterey Bay Aquarium.

3. Share the weblink and write a few sentences about what the organization(s) is doing to address the threat to ocean sustainability.
