More Sustainable Fishing Methods and Solutions
The most sustainable fishing method is hook and line fishing otherwise known as pole fishing.Practicing this method requires a fishing pole line hooks and bate. Fish or other catch grab onto the bate attached to a hook and the catch is then reeled up out of the water. Pole fishing a llows for a fisherman to catch one fish and if it is an unwanted organism the fisherman can easily unhook it releasing it back into the ocean with out killing it.
For bigger catch like sword fish, Harpooning is anther yet another very sustainable method. Harpoons can either be thrown by hand or with barbs fired from a gun. Because fisherman are useing the harpoon to aim at their specific catch bycatch is almost non existant.
Fishing traps are slightly less sustainable but can still be a good fishing method. Using bate to lure in a fish the trap closes with out harmin the catch.
