Overfishing In Hawaii Essay

591 Words3 Pages

Imagine a world without any fish in our ocean, nothing for the next generation no ahis mahi mahis ,marlins and many more fish we won’t have if over fish our oceans. I feel that overfishing in Hawaii is a major problem for 3 reasons such as people are taking fish that are under the size limit on the fish, another example is people are taking the fish that are the big breeders and they don’t give them a chance to repopulate and for the last example is people are taking more than they need and it could be a waste because it just sits in the freezer.

The first reason I think overfishing is a major problem in Hawaii is because people are taking fish that are small and under the size limit that they should be taking. This is a problem because they are not giving the fish enough time to reproduce also that when the take the small fish is a problem because, there is not enough meat on that fish anyways so they pretty much just took that fish and wasted it because it to small. They should of have let it go to grow as they say in the island “let um go let um grow” many people …show more content…

This is a problem because sometimes the fish just sits and waste and sometimes they can have fish for a party not all the fish could be eaten so sometimes people give food away to others and maybe they won’t eat it and it goes to waste we should only take what we need and no more or one day we won’t have any fish and we will have to live without it and we are going to wish we never took so much and just let it go to waste.

So that is what I think about over fishing in Hawaii and why I think it is a major problem and how I believe we can prevent all our fish being taken before it is too late, so now I hope we can all come together as an island and work together a keep our fish population going up and not down and I think we can do it we just need to work together and take care of our

  • GEOG 304 Research Paper: Shark Finning

    953 Words  | 4 Pages

    Andy Dehart, Discovery Channel Shark Advisor, spoke about the North Carolina shark over fishing problem. The shark populations on the East Coast were extremely over-fished which lead to the over population of sting rays, a main food-stock for sharks. The stingrays in turn decimated the shellfish populations on the East Coast, leading to calm and shellfish shortages. This shows that sharks are necessary for every eco-system and their destruction affects us in more ways then we can imagine. Sharks are very at-risk for over-fishing because they take a long time to reach the stage where they can reproduce and in general only have a few pups when they give birth.

  • Hawaii Invasive Species Essay

    Invasive species have been a massive problem in Hawaii since the 17s and 18 hundreds. At first, it wasn’t that big of a deal, but the influx of invasive species grew over time, and it became a dangerous slippery slope. Species that were once alienated poured into Hawaii and destroyed indigenous species that had been native to Hawaii for a very long time. Since then, the Hawaiian people and advocates of removing invasive plants and animals have banded together to help remove these species. There has been a great global effort to remove invasive species in all places, but the hasty spread of them has made it almost impossible to eradicate a lot of them. I think my group can majorly help with this by educating you all about the seriousness of invasive species.
