The fly fishing outfitter did not have any legal recourses that were discussed in lecture. The fertilizer plant did not violate the Clean Water Act section 402 because the plant obtained a permit prior to discharging the pollutant. Also, the EPA and the state approved all discharge action reported. Additionally, common law claims are inadequate because pollution caused by industrial activity is considered a negative externality. The producer and consumer of the product are not directly responsible by the impact. The cost of the externality does not take into the consideration of the cost of the goods. Likewise, it is difficult to quantify impact and distribute the responsibility equally. Legally, the polluter has no criminal liability due…

The main idea in the Watson and Kerstetter (2006) article is to describe the history of longline fishing and the different tools they used to implement this method. They provide possible solutions to the bycatch problem and what bycatch is. They discuss the differences in hooks as they can affect the target species as well as the bycatch species. They supply a definition of bycatch which is understandable and easy to relate to the paper I am writing. In the solutions section, they discuss the hooks as well as look at the migration of sea turtles and other bycatch species. As we continue to look for bycatch solutions, we need to understand where and how it started.…

It started as a small fishing store that provided fishing supplies for the convenience of the local fishermen in the area.

To make business operations more effective and efficient, the management decided to install an automated computer system. With the upgraded system, revenue increased sharply over the years.
