Commercial fishing and overfishing is a big problem to the aquatic animals in the world. In 1968 a cod (type of fish) catching industry got a highly industrialized fishing vessel‚ and was able to catch from about 500‚000 to 800‚000 tons of codfish in Labrador and the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. In the 10 years to follow the cod population decreased to the point that‚ the amount of spawning cod out of Newfoundland in 1977 was a 94 percent drop from the amount in 1962. Another type of fish population

Eel‚ king crab‚ and Atlantic salmon are other species that have been overfished to critically low levels. There is little disagreement that overfishing is the result of a combination of increased demand for fish worldwide‚ along with industrial fishing methods that catch large quantities of fish in a short period of time by means

Because when we think of fish‚ we think of the millions or even billions of little or big swimming creatures in the huge ocean; how could there be a shortage? Overfishing is the answer. Overfishing is where we hunt fish faster than they can be replaced naturally; which causes the number to abate very quickly. People do not believe overfishing is a problem because it is not something you can easily see‚ unlike global warming. Global warming has visual evidence like melting snow and warming temperatures

Climate change mitigation is the action to reduce the intensity of radiative forcing in order to reduce the effects of global warming (IPCC‚ 2006). Climate change mitigation can be done through several means such as developing alternative energy which includes renewable and nuclear energy‚ decreasing the carbon intensity of fossil fuel through carbon capture and sequestering‚ reforestation and also simply by conserving energy. Based on the cost-benefit analysis of each methods‚ I believe that the
