Fishing rod

The rate at which the island sank was about the pace of a fox chasing a rabbit in the frigid, wonderland of a forest in winter. Islanders all either scurried to fishing boats or took to the skies using their air yo'mu as their beloved city steadily sank toward the bottom of the sea. Many others such as Thales, ran back to their homes to claim earthly possessions that they felt were important. It only took five minutes…

Atlantic Ocean • Lake Ontario is the most threatened Great Lake. • Iroquois and Huron First Nations lived on the shores of Lake Ontario for thousands of years before Europeans arrived. • “Lake Ontario” means “lake of shining waters”. • Commercial fishing in Lake Ontario peaked in the…

“Life is like the ocean. It can be calm and still or rough and rigid, but in the end, it is always beautiful.” (-Author unknown) This means that if life throw a curveball or a unexpected thing, life will correct itself, and something good will come out of your struggles. Picture being a Frogfish, a million hidding spots, like a big game of Hide-N-Seek and Tag, put together to make up your life. Walking/swimming under the surface of the water. The frogfish is such an interesting fish that uses…

When I look around, all I see is the endless blue sea. Sorry, I couldn’t write a letter to you faster, but I could not write on the boat. On the boat, everyday it was the same thing all over and over. The blue sea stretched for over 100 billion miles in every direction, that was the only thing we saw and nothing else. The blatant smell of saltwater is all we could smell, together with the acrid taste of moldy bread is the only thing we tasted. We sailed for 30 days, hoping to see a glimpse of a…

Because the totoaba bladders fetch such a high price on the black market, law-abiding fishermen would not be the problem, but those who are criminals are. These poachers are in the fishing business to make a profit and could not care less if other marine life is harmed in their efforts to become rich. Morally it seems like protecting the vaquita is the obvious choice to make, but many still partake in activities that put the marine…

In this slow going, interesting, and action pact book we see a very aged man following his dreams. Many people made fun of Santiago which drove him to go back out to sea. While many of the fisherman find him weak and a lair,we will find him a strong,humble but also in suffering. Santiago was an elderly Cuban fisherman who has had a streak of bad luck for eighty four days. He is very persistent in wanting to catch the “big fish” that will feed him and put money in his pocket. In other words he…

In the Alaskan Gold movie the fishermen and the miners were debating over weather they should leave the ecosystem for the salmon to spawn in or mine the land. This is an important economic issue because the mines could bring in a lot of money in revenue but it also could destroy the salmons spawning streams. I believe that the land should be used for mining for many reasons, but especially because it would be the largest containment of gold and copper in North America, and because of the money…

Alaska has an interesting history with fishing, from even before it became a state, when it was acquired by the United States from Russia in 1867 (Naske 1994). Gold miners, whalers, and fishermen were some of the first Americans to move northward to Alaska for natural resources riches. Since the late 1880s, commercial fishing has been an important part of the Alaskan culture and economy (Sechrist & Rutz). In the early 1940s, when Alaska was still a territory, the United States joined WW II. The…

Climate change may be partly to blame for the decreasing number of Atlantic salmon. Some direct biological impacts of the change in climate include physiological stress, increased depletion of energy reserves, increased susceptibility and exposure to disease and disruptions to breeding efforts there is evidence that the temperature of the sea's surface may affect the young salmons survival. It is also thought that climate change may affect salmon growth rates or make their food less available.…

This story takes place way up in the mountains of Arizona. There was a tribe of navajo indians that lived on the edge of the colorado river. The chief of the tribe Qaletaqa Golden was having a meeting with the elder. They were meeting about a hunting trip in the mountains for elk and bison. The chief's son Wakkan was a very scared of everything maybe even scared of his shadow at times. But Wakkan was an avid hunter and fisherman. Some people would even say that he is the best fisherman of the…
