Overfishing

Eva Resnick-Day and her question about the fossil fuel industry was enough to make Hillary Clinton lose her calm at her campaign in New York (Phillip). It was not the first time Eva had done this, and it was not the first time her group was known for this. Eva belongs to a group known as Greenpeace, an environmental awareness group with deep ties in past and current issues. In the past, it had focused on whaling and nuclear efforts, but with stricter regulations in place and in order to stay…

Salmon population is diminishing. The mysterious decline of the salmon began in the early 1990’s. This decline was unsettling and was blamed on many things; maybe the water was to warm, the fish didn’t have anything to eat at sea, or perhaps it was overfishing. The department of fisheries and oceans or DFO is the agency responsible the overall well being of fish in Canada. The DFO took up this cause and, in attempt to make an impact in the declining populations, halted the commercial fishing of…

Animal Agriculture: The Leading Cause of Climate Change Food by means of animal agriculture is – and probably always will be – an extension of our lives. Even before recorded time, humans have been raising livestock for means of survival and personal use and have only embraced this process as time progressed because it is our main source of food. We’ve adopted methods of artificial selection and gene manipulation to raise a more desirable superpopulation of livestock that environmental…

isn 't that we don 't know how much fish they need to eat each day,’ she says. ‘The issue is we 're leaving them with nothing to eat.’” SeaWorld’s research does not cover topics that would actually be beneficial to helping orcas in the wild, like overfishing, pollution, and climate change. One researcher argued that SeaWorld 's reproductive technology could help the species survive in an instance of "drastic population declines." However, others say that captive orcas must be trained to donate…

Believe it or not, climate change is here, real, and affecting the world around us with irreversible consequences caused by humans. At this point, there is a monumental amount of data and scientific agreement on climate change, every single person should be scared of climate change and the effects it is having on the world. The current level of abhorrence at the very thought that humans are causing the climate to change, that the climate even is changing, and that this change is having…

Due to the recent election, many citizens have begun to speak out and protest against the results. As a consequence of Donald Trump’s victory, the country has arguably become more polarized than ever. Upon Trump 's victory, non-Trump supporters started to channel their rage and confusion and began storming out in protest. These people began to fight back against the result and consequently they began to protest their own government. Were they right to do so? The justification of their actions is…

because I feel sorry for the animals, but I like seeing animals and I want to visit a national park in the USA, where animals roam free. I think environmental problems are similar in the USA and in my country. For example, automobile pollution, overfishing,…

The Endangered Species Act of 1973 has become the strongest and most important federal law in the protection of imperiled wildlife and plants. It has played a big role as the forerunner of animal rights in the U.S political system outside of domesticated species. It federally prohibits against the “taking” of an endangered species, enabling “protections making it illegal to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, collect, or attempt to do these things to these animals and…

Introduction The causes for the Great Barrier Reef decline in Australia has been affected by natural and human faults. The natural effects of the decline are; water temperature changes, movements of the Earth’s crust (tectonic plates) and the new spreads of coral disease (1). As well as the anthropogenic stress, spotted on marine debris pollution, radiation and overpopulation (4). To understand the causes of species, decline better in the Great Barrier Reef, this research will be a case study…

guidelines into its formation, however, its member states have their own rules and regulations which they follow in their own parts of the ocean. This is both dangerous and beneficial, as it could lead to commercial exploitation of the region, including overfishing, offshore oil spills, or other environmental hazards. It could be beneficial because it includes internal accountability rather than external. The member states are more likely to follow their own laws than laws put on them by…
