slightly‚ this research is conclusive with that of The Water Brothers and supports their findings that such a large number of global fish stocks are depleted. Overfishing‚ when fish are caught faster than they can reproduce (Lee & Safina n.d.) has decimated marine ecosystems around the world. One of the leading contributors to overfishing is bottom trawling. This fishing technique uses weighted nets‚ which drag across the ocean floor‚ catching anything in its path. This is the most destructive method

Overfishing is “the act of catching fish from the oceans faster than the the fish can reproduce and replace the caught fish numbers. Modern day technology and hi-tech equipments have made it easy to catch a larger number of fish in a shorter span of time and with minimal effort. The more and more fish are caught the lesser they are found in the waters. This is one of the main reasons that fishermen have to travel longer distances deeper into the sea to catch fish.” Because of our rapidly expanding

Atlantic Canada - located on the eastern edge of Canada‚ the first entry into the continent was by Europeans. - Its natural resources have been exploited for centuries‚ making it an ’old’ resource hinterland. - Its small and highly dispersed population offers only small markets and few manufacturing opportunities. Distance from the markets of Central Canada has curtailed its trade within Canada and thus dampened its economic development. For that reason‚ its natural resources are exported
