Read the information. What does sustainable mean?
Fish is one of the world's favorite foods. Around the world, the average person eats 36 pounds (16 kg) of fish every year. But many kinds of fish around the world are disappearing because people catch too many of them. Scientists say that 90 percent of the biggest fish are gone now. If we catch too many big fish now, there won't be any baby fish in the future. Some species of fish will become extinct. Our way of fishing now is not sustainable— if it continues, it will hurt the environment.
Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiSustainable means being able to maintain something over a long period of time without causing harm to the environment or depleting resources. In the context of fishing, sustainable fishing means catching fish at a rate that allows the population to remain healthy and abundant for future generations. It involves using fishing methods that minimize damage to the environment and avoiding overfishing or taking too many fish from the population, so that the population can replenish itself naturally.
Hướng dẫn dịch:
Bền vững có nghĩa là có thể duy trì một cái gì đó trong một thời gian dài mà không gây hại cho môi trường hoặc làm cạn kiệt tài nguyên. Trong bối cảnh đánh bắt cá, đánh bắt bền vững có nghĩa là đánh bắt cá với tốc độ cho phép dân số duy trì sức khỏe và dồi dào cho các thế hệ tương lai. Nó liên quan đến việc sử dụng các phương pháp đánh bắt cá để giảm thiểu thiệt hại cho môi trường và tránh đánh bắt quá mức hoặc lấy quá nhiều cá từ quần thể để quần thể có thể tự bổ sung một cách tự nhiên.

In groups, discuss ways to solve fishing problems.
1. Read each plan. What will happen if we follow each one? Write some notes.
Plan A: Don’t eat fish! Tell people to stop buying and eating too many: young fish. Put ads in newspapers and magazines, and make TV commercials to explain why fishing hurts the environment. | Plan B: Safe fish symbol Make a special symbol for fish that are caught in a sustainable way. Make commercials to tell people to look for this symbol in supermarkets and restaurants. | Plan C: Strict laws about fishing Make stronger laws about how many fish people can catch. Send special police in fast boats to ail of the fishing areas to make sure that fishing boats follow the laws. |
2. Discuss the plans with your group.
3. As a group, decide which is the best plan.
4. Explain your decision to the class.
Thảo luận (1)Hướng dẫn giảiPlan A: Don’t eat fish!
- If people follow this plan, it will help reduce the demand for fish and prevent overfishing.
- The ads and commercials can raise awareness about the negative impacts of fishing on the environment.
- However, this plan might not be effective if people don't understand the importance of sustainable fishing or if they don't have access to other sources of protein.
Plan B: Safe fish symbol
- If people follow this plan, it will encourage them to choose fish that are caught in a sustainable way and help promote responsible fishing practices.
- The symbol can make it easier for consumers to identify which fish are sustainable and which are not.
- However, this plan may not be effective if not enough supermarkets and restaurants use the symbol or if the symbol is not regulated and monitored properly.
Plan C: Strict laws about fishing
- If people follow this plan, it will help enforce sustainable fishing practices and prevent overfishing.
- The police presence can deter fishing boats from breaking the laws and can help protect marine habitats.
- However, this plan may not be popular among fishermen and may require significant resources to implement and enforce properly.
Group decision:
The best plan is a combination of Plan B and Plan C. By promoting sustainable fishing practices with the safe fish symbol, and enforcing these practices with stricter laws and police presence, it can help ensure a sustainable future for our oceans and fish populations.
Explanation:
This plan combines the benefits of both Plan B and Plan C. By promoting sustainable fishing practices with the safe fish symbol, it encourages people to make informed choices about the fish they eat. By enforcing these practices with stricter laws and police presence, it helps prevent overfishing and protects marine habitats. This plan addresses the issue from both the demand side and the supply side, and can help ensure a sustainable future for our oceans and fish populations.
