Discuss ways to solve fishing problems

Plan 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.
