How it effects us
In the future
Geographic. N. p., 1996 Web. 9 May 2013. < http:// ocean. nationalgeographic. com” Natrually the bluefin tuna is not the only speciesuffering. The Chinook salmon population took a hazardous turn as well. The salmon fishing is a rather large export in the northwest, They were very populated in the early 1970s. However come 1975, where commercial fishing took its peak. Once the population was all but gone, the government laid down strict laws, and the early 2000s were dedicated to the species repopulating. Species such as halibut, swordfish, and flounder were also threatened at the time.
How it effects us
If 200 million people were to be unemployed, the world would go in financial ruin. Like the death of any major industry, jobs would be lost, and people would go hungry with fish being the only tangible protein for them to acquire. Imagine if a large chunk of americans were to lose their jobs. Many coastal cities would be in ruins. Thankfully the Government are trying to stop overfishing. While Some species out there may still be severely endangered, now seems to be a time of grace and replenishing for marine life as stricter fines, and consequences are placed. Let the lesson be known to humankind to better pace themselves and allow the fish to live.
In the future
There may be hope for marine life yet, now aquaculture is being introduced and put into action. Fish raised on farms meant to be consumed could be the way to control the population, and consumption of fish. And there is greater hope for the life in our oceans.
