international development projects. In Vietnam, for example, CARE assists communities in planting mangroves, which not only protect their villages from typhoons but have significant environmental benefits, including controlling erosion and nurturing fisheries. In India CARE constructed water supply points to withstand…

The Effects of Hatcheries on Wild Salmon Populations Salmonids are perhaps one of the most prominent fish in freshwater systems such as streams and lakes. Their success can be widely attributed to their anadromous lifestyle. However, despite their success, salmonid populations are on a continuous decline. Many species such as Pacific Salmon in Washington, Oregon, and California are critically endangered, while some are threatened with extinction due to several different factors (Moyle and Cech…

A growing and increasingly health-conscious population, coupled with declining capture fisheries, is driving increased global demand for farm-raised seafood that can only be met through expansion of aquaculture (Delgado et al., 2003). In 2007, aquaculture represented 33% of total global seafood production and is projected to increase to as much as 71% by 2030 (FAO, 2009). Aquaculture seeks to provide an ideal and healthy environment to maximize fish growth in a shorter period of time. Among the…

Cuba is by far, the largest and most ecologically diverse island in the Caribbean, with several archipelagos equaling or exceeding the Florida Keys in length. Cuba’s extensive coastal areas are still home to massive mangrove wetlands, tropical wet forests, coastal mountains, and a variety of associated habitats for a diverse range of plants and animals. It has a great variety of marine ecosystems, including many diverse coral reef habitats, extensive grass beds, and more than a dozen enormous…

Alice Walker, a famous activist, author, and poet once said, “The animals of this world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites.” Animals were not put on this earth to live in a cage, suffer, and be torn from their families and habitat, rather to live freely and happily in the wild. Whether they be in movies, zoos, circuses, or bullfighting rings, many animals are used as sources of entertainment for humans. Many times, however,…

These provinces were considered as a have not province because of economic troubles. Atlantic Canada has suffered low wages, high unemployment rates and the lowest income in Canada. An example that impacts the economy the most is the collapse of the fisheries. This has brought the region into crisis. Most people who worked as fisherman have to be transferred to other jobs or lose their job. This decreases job opportunities in the Atlantic region. Many Atlantic Canadians move to the west to…

J. Dennis Robinson’s, Under the Isles of Shoals, is a compelling and carefully constructed narrative that examines the archaeology, history, and ever-evolving mystery of the Isles of Shoals. A steward of Smuttynose Island, (one of the nine islands consisting of the Isles of Shoals), and an author of American history for both young and old readers, Robinson, crafts a stirring narrative based on archaeological research, historical records, oral history, and legends, that satisfies both novice and…

Fisheries and wildlife is a very large part of people’s lives. People do it for a living, they do it for fun, or they do it for a job. But how will we know these people will behave honestly? Well, we do have laws put in place to deter these people from misbehaving, but who’s to say they do or do not? That’s what a game and fish warden is for. They are the enforcing of these wildlife laws to help conserve all the woodland creatures and fish of the waters. They make sure someone bags 3 pheasants…

however since the 1990s the rate of economic growth has slowed down (“Consulate-General of Japan in San Francisco,” 2015). Japan is made up of a free market economy and is highly industrialized. Their main industries are agriculture, forestry, and fishery, while their secondary industries include manufacturing, mining, and construction (“Consulate-General of Japan in San Francisco,” 2015). However, Japan has few natural resources, so in result, they have to import most of the raw materials…

Indonesia is one of the countries with abundance of natural resources with large populations. According to World Bank (2013) Indonesia is lower middle income country with GDP around 868.3 billion US dollar and the population is 249.9 million, while poverty headcount ration at national poverty line is 11.3% on 2014. The contention appear that this wealth resources country get the benefit or even get worse with the plenty of their natural resources. The economic growth in Indonesia in period…
