this is kinda interesting, though not terribly relevant to global fisheries, but it does have a few possibilities explaining how fish might be affected by things other than climate change... ie, dams, rainforest destruction, and pollution.
and honestly, this was rather useless but it kept appearing, and I felt bad for the site. well, it wasn't that bad, but it's not terribly specific, and really only mentions temperature and general "climate change" from conditions such as El Nino as factors that might affect fish.
week of Sunday, September 30: We had a team meeting on the 30th to discuss what each of us should contribute to the powerpoint. We also collaborated on a group powerpoint, and condensed it into one file. In class, we later discussed who was going to say what during the class presentations.
week of Sunday, October 7: so we looked at possibilities for climate change-- what laws and stuff we could possibly enact and enforce that had to do with climate-- think of El Nino and enacting legislation in places like Peru when the first warning signs are found. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem too much-- i've found stuff on acidification, as well as salinity and temperature, though those don't seem particularly relevant to what we're doing here.
week of Sunday, October 14: getting ready for our group presentation on Friday. I'm supposed to be one of the presenters, so I'll look at the ppt in a bit to prepare.
week of Sunday, October 21: went on the Gloucester trip yesterday. I thought it was great, getting to see so many of the things we talked about in a more hands-on manner. main points: subsidies won't work, GPS system should work as long as it becomes a legit policy, fishermen are conservationists, and many of them are anti-government.
Okay, so I've moderated most of our out-of-class meetings. It doesn't sound that impressive, I guess, but we've spent a lot of time discussing and I think that's where most of my contributions have come in. =)
