Organization of the Powerpoint

Our goal:  

1. Prove: closed areas for maritime Canada and New England are an important tool for creating a sustainable Cod fishery (Title slide of Powerpoint).

2. Definitions (Closed Area, show what area we are focusing on- i.e. maps)

3. Past Failures/Successes of Closed Areas 

4.  Present Data

5. Show which areas we thinks should be closed 

End Slide: Works Cited 

  • Definitions
    • Limited Fishing
      • Fish size
    • All Fishing
  • We will need to address the fact the GIS does NOT indicate that the closed areas did much good for Cod (the problem is that Cod move)
  • Hence, we will use shifting closed areas--move the closures to match the location of the cod
  • Protect areas with higher densities of Cod--we want to protect the areas of the population that are reproducing
  • Protect the extremes, and they will help the middle
  • Because the cod move, closed areas are not THE solution, they are a part of the solution
  • We will need to discuss the economic arguments
    • Reducing the effort by reducing the number of fishing vessels will increase vessel efficency by weeding out older boats
    • Large closed areas and fleet reductions will create a significant reduction in fish mortality and stocks will recover. (from Defra)
