    Looking at lake Mille Lacs again, we see the economy in the area dramatically drop since the announcement of a one fish limit. Because of Mille Lacs residing in central Minnesota, Anglers cannot justify a long drive to only take a single fish home each day. However, increasing the limit allows local business to thrive with an influx of anglers spending at gas stations, bait shops, and guide services. We also see an increase in the overall fishing industry with extensive purchases of tackle and licenses, as well as hotels and resorts. In the end, an increase in the economy of the fishing industry allows the DNR to continue supporting and stocking Minnesota’s lakes for many generations to…

    The most appropriate form of leadership to approach this situation would be an authoritarian leadership. Firstly, the time available is limited. This is said as construction is to begin immediately which means that the Bikini Bottom community is under a direct threat, therefore, a qualified leader must be placed in a position of power so that he/she will have the ability to tell fellow citizens the things they must do. Secondly, the citizens of Bikini Bottom lack the skill, and knowledge of the things to do in such a situation. Collectively, the community has never experienced anything similar to what they are about to experience, thus, a qualified leader must be placed in a position of power to limit the discussion of ideas, and new ways of…

    When buying fish at the store or eating at a seafood restaurant most people don’t give much thought to where the food they’re eating came from beyond “the ocean.” Even less consideration is put into how the fish was caught or if the practice is sustainable. Today’s mentality is all about instant gratification regardless of future consequences, whether it be health or environmental risk. Many people may think the Ocean is an inexhaustible source of food because it covers over 70% of the Earths surface and is as deep as many of the largest mountains are tall. This assumption is incorrect and in part feeds into the reason why over-fishing occurs.…
