...To the benefit of current stakeholders, participants in Maine’s lobstering industry have historically been diligent in their efforts preserve this resource. In fact, Maine is frequently used as a model for “co-management”, due to the way it uses a “top-down management” strategy to allow a multitude of stakeholders to participate in the creation of legislation relevant to the industry (Berkes, 2008, p. 1692). Furthermore, this style places an emphasis on the sharing of “power and responsibility between the government and local resource users” (Berkes, 2008, p. 1692). As a result this strategy encourages users ‘skills and first-hand knowledge to provide “effective and equitable” solutions to immediate management challenges (Jentoft, McCay, & Wilson,...

...Individual Report PART 1 My responsibility was to read through, discuss and analyze the Consultancy Report about the John West case with the title “The sustainable strategy for Tuna Fishery”. Having the experience of our work depending on “Aldi”, I have to recommend some important points on my classmates’ report, which are missing or incomprehensible. My first recommendation is that each consultancy report is certainly required to have a specific market point and to include a PEST analysis of the company. After that, it would be necessary to have a comparison and a clear benchmarking between John West and its competitors and a feasibility analysis. Furthermore, the solution section should include not only the proposals of a different fishing method but also the financial impact that each one of these methods could have on the company and how each one of these methods could help the company to improve its products’ quality and its sales. Finally, since the problem is recognized and the consultancy group tries to solve it, the advertisement should not be only as a reference but it should be part of the solution. 1. Specific market point and PEST analysis Reading through the project it is not clearly comprehensible that the report is based in United Kingdom’s market. The result of this fact on the consultancy report is that we do not know the exact competitors, the exact consumers, the specific market pool and it is reasonable that the SWOT analysis is not as accurate as it...

As soon as I chose the necessary items for water and fire, I gave up the rifle immediately, which I know it is really useless because there would not be any animals to hunt and we didn’t need a gun to protect ourselves. It was easy to choose the top and bottom items, but I was kind of hesitated while choosing the middle class items. When discussing in a group, each person had offered their ideas and they all have different priorities than the others. We basically brought out items like which one was the top one and which one was the second. During this progress, all of us were trying to persuade each other because they were all so filled with passion like one of my group member was so attracted by the fishing line an hooks that she wanted to go fishing so much. It was pretty fun actually by discussing kind of different material than the materials we discussed in the other classes. To my surprise, we have four group members out of six who really wanted that rifle gun. So I and another group member tried really hard to persuade them but in a result of have the rifle gun at...

...responsible tourism are being practiced so that the island can continue to attract tourists through the year. 1.1 Background Information Perhentian Island, known also as ‘Stopover Island’, is one of the two gems located in the East Coast of Malaysia. Perhentian when translated in English means, post. It is clustered off Terengganu which is located further at the Northern of Terengganu which borders the neighbouring state of Kelantan. Perhentian Island’s accessible point is through Kuala Besut. It is a small Terengganu fishing village filled with Kelantanese culture and heritage. The name Perhentian Island itself is known to have originated from fishermen who would find cover by stopping at the island, especially in times of emergency like during a thunderstorm and bad weather. Furthermore, it is also due to the role it plays as a post for traders and fishermen back in those days. Currently, the island’s only permanent inhabitants are living in a small fishing village. The island provides innovative tours with a variety of activities with nature trekking showcasing also their culture and heritage experience. The island has no structures taller than a two storey building with an exception of its only single mainland-communications tower. Perhentian Island’s base of economic is mainly its tourism sector which brings about a limited amount of people on the island to prevent overcrowding on the island’s nature reserve.

...Freshwater and Saltwater Fishing Fishing is a sport enjoyed by many outdoor enthusiast. There is nothing like hearing the sharp, high pitched whining of the reel as your line gets pulled into the depths of the glistening, crystal clear, salty water. There are two types of fishing; saltwater and freshwater. Many people do not realize the vast differences in the two types of fishing, or even the obvious similarities. Selecting the right equipment for the different fishing styles, such as tackle and bait, can make or break an anglers day. Any fisherman needs some basic gear to be successful on the water. Whether it is saltwater or freshwater fishing, there are three essential parts to a fishing setup. The first would be a fishing pole. This is used to string your line and allow you to reel it back in once you have hooked a fish. The second would be your line which is used to cast out into the water. The last vital component to any fishing setup would be the hook. With any luck, the fish will latch onto your hook and you can reel it in. The main differences in freshwater and saltwater fishing is the type of tackle that is used. Lakes and ponds are usually the main spots for freshwater fishing, whereas saltwater fishing is done in the massive ocean. These size differences in the water holes has a drastic affect on the size of your catch. Freshwater fish are typically smaller, usually around 10 pounds, while saltwater fish can be as big as a car. In order to pull in a massive...

...the fishes in the sea as well. As technology has become more and more advanced that has made our fishing more efficient meaning that it has become easier for us to catch more fish. This has and will impact human lives in a very critical way. Along with other of Earth’s resources we have to learn and take care of our environment to keep it in a Holocene state for a very long time. Earth’s resource limited but shared resources have led to much competition among humans. The relationship between humans and fish has evolved over the years along with the new developed technological advancements in fishing. There are many examples around the globe that relationship with fish has changed because of technology. In 1992 the collapse of the Newfoundland Grand Banks Cod fishery in Canada was mainly caused by the technological advancements made in fishing. The Newfoundland Grand Banks was once renowned as the world’s most productive fishing grounds. The first European explorers described the waters as being so full, one just had to lower a basket into the water and it would come up filled with cod. Up to the 1950s the bounty of the Grand Banks was enough to supply local small-scale fishing, as well as feed millions of harp seals. But this happy picture was not to last. The Grand Banks fishery was destroyed by technological advances in fishing techniques in the 1950s and 60s. Small artisan fishing boats found themselves competing with trawlers modeled on the factory whaling ships that had devastated...

...As an avid shore fisherman who enjoys fishing, I have the unique opportunity to choose between two similar, but two very different, types of fishing. These two types of fishing are fresh water fishing and salt water fishing. With that being said, in the state where I reside, there are two distinct attitudes towards fishing. There are those anglers who prefer fresh water fishing, and there are those anglers who prefer salt water fishing. Both types of fishing ultimately deal with utilizing a fishing pole, fishing line and bait (or a fishing lure) to catch fish. However, in the same way they are similar; in contrast, they are both very much different. In a fresh water lake, the water rises with the amount of rainfall and falls due to evaporation and drainage; on the other hand, ocean the water rises and falls with the lunar tide. Unlike fresh water fishing, where an angler would use “lighter” fishing tackle due to catching smaller fish, salt water fishing requires much “heavier” tackle due to the vast difference in size from fresh water fish to salt water fish. For instance, the State record for a fresh water largemouth bass caught in a lake is 10 pounds 14 ounces; whereas, a Great White shark can weigh more then a car! So as you can see, although fresh water fishing and salt water fishing are similar, in some ways, they are very much different. Works Cited Houch, R. (September 3, 2013). NJ Saltwater Fisherman.

...has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance. Throughout his life, Santiago has been presented with contests to test his strength and endurance. The marlin with which he struggles for three days represents his greatest challenge. Paradoxically, although Santiago ultimately loses the fish, the marlin is also his greatest victory. The marlin - Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Because of the marlin’s great size, Santiago is unable to pull the fish in, and the two become engaged in a kind of tug-of-war that often seems...

...industry is a substitute for the traditional forms of fish supply and an important source of protein for the growing human population and can relieve the pressures on marine and coastal ecosystems (Lucas and Southgate, 2012). In addition, marine aquaculture can contribute to food security (Godfray et al., 2010; FAO, 2014). Capture fishery production has been relatively static since the late 1980s, while aquaculture has grown considerably in this period (FAO, 2016). World per capita apparent fish consumption increased from an average of 9.9 kg in the 1960s to 14.4 kg in the 1990s and 19.7 kg in 2013 with the preliminary estimation of exceeding 20 kg in 2015 (FAO, 2016). Therefore, development of aquaculture is more required due to constant fishing, world population growth, and per capita aquatic consumption increase. Marine aquaculture in Iran has been growing relatively fast in recent years, and this kind of production has risen from 3.2 thousand tons in the 1987s to 320.2 thousand tons in the 2014s (FAO, 2016). Due to the existence of wide coastal areas in the north and south of Iran, the country has suitable potential for the development of marine aquaculture. Marine aquaculture challenges other (traditional) activities such as fisheries through competing for space (Christie et al., 2014); so it is necessary that a planned and managed site is appropriately selected (Afroz et al., 2013; Suplicy et al., 2015). It provides the basis not only for economic benefits, but also for the...
