Communicating with various stakeholders is a critical component of managing a disease outbreak. Ineffectual communication between stakeholders and the outbreak management team can have severe consequences that can influence the success of the outbreak management strategy. For example, when CWD was discovered in 2002 in Wisconsin poor communication between the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and stakeholders greatly hindered the disease management efforts and had lasting negative…

Not simply a tragedy for the environment, the oil spill created a major risk to the area food chain supporting the Alaskan fishing industry. Additionally, many species of animals were threatened, including ten million migratory shore birds and waterfowl, hundreds of sea otters, porpoises and sea lions, and several varieties of whales. Exxon Valdez Oil Spill was an Irreplaceable loss for the Alaskan people. That oil spill destroyed the whole ecological environment of Alaska. It has affected to…

This historical study will define the impact of the fishing industry and ethnic diversity of immigrant populations in the early settlement of Newfoundland from 1500-1800. The settlement of Newfoundland was primarily based on the fishing industry due to a lack of other resources on the island. The settlements of early Newfoundland were primarily formed through the diverse array of ethnic cultures, such as the Portuguese, English, French, and Irish that eventually came to develop settlements in…

Thermohaline circulation (THC) is one of three elements responsible for deep-water movements that drive the ocean’s great currents, also known as the global conveyer belt. THC, in conjunction with tidal forces and wind patterns, keep our oceans circulating in what appears to be a closed loop system. As the temperature of seawater passing through the North Atlantic Ocean drops, it freezes and leaves behind saline, increasing salt concentration and therefore density of the surrounding water. The…

Richard O’Barry also uses a simile. He says “I was as ignorant as I could be for as long as I could be” (1:22:18). He says this while talking about his past as a dolphin trainer. Louie Psihoyos asks a rhetorical question to Hideki Moronuki, Deputy of Fisheries for Japan, while interviewing him. He asks “If they were killed other than this method, would that be cruel?” (1:22:52). He asks this question after Hideki explained the precise ways his fishermen are supposed to kill the dolphins, even…

The central theme of The Cove is of the injustice against dolphins, in the context of being held in captivity in marine theme parks all over the world, and also within the Town of Taiji, Japan where every year hundreds are captured or slaughtered. The backstory of the film comes from a man named Richard O'Barry, who was once the chief dolphin trainer for the seven dolphins used in the film Flipper. Once he noticed how depressed the captive dolphins he trained were after one “committed suicide”…

Chapter seven begins when Theodore Roosevelt became the governor of New York in 1899. He discovered that if he wanted to improve the handling of natural resources in New York he had to do that through the New York State Fisheries, Game, and Forest Commission. This agency had done very little, because the members were decided by their political influence. Since 1888, George Bird Grinnell had been trying to get the administration to be separated by politics. He believed the leaders needed to be…

and offshore fisheries. The report showed that many marine ecosystems are exposed to different climate and ocean behaviour. It showed that due to different forms of harvesting, many fish populations and ecosystems have been heavily affected in the past century. Many shallow coastal and offshore species have caused a directional change in the distribution of marine species in South Africa’s shores. This is a result of climate change that have caused an impact on many of the fisheries as they are…

The Blacktip Reef Shark is native to the tropical coral reefs of the Indian and Pacific Oceans. The Blacktip is listed under kingdom animalia, phylum chordata, class Chondrichthyes, order Carcharhiniformes, family Carcharhinidae, and genus Carcharhinus. This shark was given its name based off of the blacktip at the end of its dorsal fin. This fin appears very vivid in the shark’s youth, but fades with age. The Blacktip Reef Shark will most likely grow to be 4.9 feet and weigh roughly 40 pounds,…
