From the presentation from Morgan today, I’ve learned overfishing from the Ocean. I had the strong impression on the bad fishing way and the special sticker that is on the cans or the fish product where you can see in America if they are from the safety fishing.
Also, I’ve seen the different kind of the fishing, especially really bad like a trolling which destroys whole environment by sweeping the nets in the ocean including the bottom. From my general overfishing knowledge, I just knew that Chinese are overfishing fish at the Yellow Sea. They get the little fish to very qualify fish which also Morgan talked in the presentation.
It was whole new idea I’d got when Morgan introduced the sticker that can be on the fish can if they’d done fishing without bad ways. And as he assume, since our country just meet the top 10 country not long ago, it is a fact that we are ignorant from the safety fish sticker. Almost nobody in the class knew whether the stickers exist or not. And I thought, without this sticker, we can’t be the ones who can choose their food properly even if it’s from the overfishing way and we can’t get the idea what so ever.
From the discussion questions, we were asked whether we have a will to change our diet for the overfishing fish. I thought it’s impossible to change our diet right now, right away, but the several groups actually told class that they would change theirs. I think it’s a big movement from the people who just knew about the overfishing and change their diet habits and this also tells that if more people would know about the idea of overfishing and their effects to the ocean and eventually to us, things can be changed to the ocean.
