Water Resource Plan

The main problem discussed in the video is the reduction in the large fish population. The

reduction of the fish population goes back to one of the other problems facing the world, our

population. Since the world’s population has grown larger by every year that passes, the need for

food increases. Thus the reason for overfishing the world’s oceans is obvious, population growth,

more fishing is needed. In order to supply enough food for the people of the world we need to

catch the fish.

Since there is always going to be a need for the fishing industry and for the fish they catch we

need to look for a way to better the fishing while at the same time keeping the fish population at

a level where they will not go extinct. One way of doing this is by creating enough hatcheries,

where the government can control the amount of fish raised and released back into the oceans.

This might sound easy but the sheer size of a salt water hatchery will cost millions. As it stands

right now, there are numerous hatcheries, small and raise fish that are not being overfished.

Instead they are raising fish that are used in sports fishing such as the red tail fish in Florida. I

feel that if we can sustain an ocean aquarium with all kinds of marine life, then there can be

some large salt water hatcheries to raise tuna, swordfish and even halibut if needed. By

reviewing what good can come from this type of project there should be no hassle in getting it

off the ground, but with everything there is always those who will oppose.

One of the problems that can be seen right from the start is the room needed to raise these

types of fish. Whether it is the swordfish or the tune, they need a lot of room to run as well as a

fresh supply of live food. These fish are predators in the open waters of the ocean feeding off of

hearing, crabs, flies and whatever else they can catch and eat. Being carnivorous and very fast
