An important aspect of quelling demand for fish is the slowing of rapid population growth. In many developing countries, such as China, India and Indonesia this rapid growth is going to put a significantly more strain on our already threatened fisheries. Education of the public in such countries is the most ethical way of going about this, though it will be a difficult task, especially in regions where family size is determined by tradition or culture. We support the creation and extension of education campaigns to educate citizens of these questions about family planning and contraception. The exact details of such a campaign are beyond the scope of our project, but are still relevant because of their ultimate effect upon the situation of the fisheries.
This education aspect would include informing people of the negative consequences of fish consumption in hopes to reduce it, such as toxic mercury content which can be found in fish species of the oceans. Mercury poses dangerous health risks, especially to children and the unborn fetuses of pregnant women. The essence of what I have copied below (I bolded the important parts) are that the way we can use it as an educational tool is that the greatest threat it poses is to children. That of course will have a large impact in the same way that society views children as victims of tobacco. There is also a website, http://www.gotmercury.org/, which let's you calculate the amount of mercury you're getting. In one can of tuna, a 147 pound person gets 115% of his weeklyallotment. (Yes I entered my own weight). Anyway, the site also discusses the excessive levels of mercury in swordfish and canned tuna. Didn't someone just mention something about tuna and greenpeace? Read the stuff below and I'll do more research.
