How do we do this…• Market Place

– TEDs– Round hooks– No more subsidies
• Regulatory Approaches– IWC– Japan Whaling Research– Exclusive Economic Zones vs. high seas– Marine Protected Areas (MPA’s)
Aquacultures aka Blue Revolution
Advantages • Possibly support 50% of
world’s seafood need.• Low fuel cost• High yield in low volume of
water• Reduces overharvesting
Disadvantages
• Large waste output• Destroy habitats• Uses grain to feed some species• Dense populations susceptible
to disease.• Escapes
