"It's time for leadership on global fisheries issues. It's time to act," says Dr. Pauly, Director of the Fisheries Centre at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. "We don't need more science. This is a message that's different from many of my colleagues. Of course we need to learn more about fish. But research is often publicly funded on the grounds that this is an alternative to other political action. We know enough to act to prevent the continued decimation of global fisheries."" (Qtd. Hooked on Fishing).
The Problem and the Answer
...
This plan represents a culmination of a semester's worth of research and idea development. Unfortunately we cannot see which areas of our plan need tweaking without feedback from initial implementation. It is important to note that in our plan we have also incorporated ways to try to deter negative consequences for those whose lifestyles are reliant on the fishing industry. This however must come second to saving the ocean, considering having a healthy and sustainable marine ecosystem will be what is best for both human and sea in the long run.
