NOT TO BE PLACED ON FINAL WEBPAGE

This is for all the stuff I think of when I'm on Google and can't quite place:

1. What is the impact of ILLEGAL FISHING?

• Being researched now

1. How do we balance the needs of people and fish?

• Decided on Tuesday Night

1. What is SUSTAINABLE?

• Decided on Tuesday night

1. What is a FISHERY?
2. Sports fishermen

• NOAA's site on sport fishing: http://www.st.nmfs.noaa.gov/mrii/index.html
• Research being done

1. Whaling

• Research COMPLETE

1. What to do with Developed vs. Developing nations:

• Developed
  • Encourage them to switch from fish to other proteins and to invest in sustainable tech
• Developing
  • They depend on fish, so educate them on more sustainable practices
  • Subsidize transition to sustainable tech

1. government funding for cleaner current farm-raised fish?
2. the understanding that throughout the history of human food consumption, fish are the least-touched so far. Ie: we've gotten faster chickens, raised milk-producing levels, managed to relocate water for huge tracts of farmland.. but as for raising fish, we're relatively still in the dust.

Add anything else, or feel free to move these subjects to appropriate heading

Not sure how long our stuff stayed up on the board, but after class today, a couple of us were in the Terrascope room (Chris Su, Alex Vai, Claudia Tenen, David Anderson...) talking, among other things, about what incentives we could offer to get international compliance with all the regulations we're going to impose. For developing nations, development is a big thing: a chance to trade with developed nations, foreign investments, increased efficiency of production due to more advanced technology, anything that will reduce poverty, anything that will boost their GDP. So if we could target the goals of a developing nation and tie that in with environmental regulation, we'd be all set.

Meanwhile, food for thought: Australian officials, despite protests against whaling, are unwilling to disrupt any trade agreements with Japan because they're concerned about the effect on their own economy, or think pursuing legal action or sanctions or whatever won't be effective, or something: http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22783620-29277,00.html
