Environmental Science Comic Project: Fishing
Storyboard Text
- Hello! I'm ocean man and today I will be showing you the ocean.
- What a generous offer! Let's go check the boat out.
- Hey, you. Want to come check the boat out?
- In reality, the fishing done by these boats is harming the ocean and not sustainable.
- Looks like this boat is preparing to set sail and fish.
- Lets dive in and see the impact on the ocean.
- Look at how barren and destroyed the ocean is. There is barely any fish and no coral
- Furthermore, these fishing methods pick up a lot of fish and even pick up unwanted fish.
- Fishing with these massive nets pick up coral off the sea floor destroying the ocean environment.
- This is slowly reducing fish populations around the world and even making some extinct!
- Now you see fishing is a massive environmental problem, but don't lose hope! There are still ways we can make fishing environmentally friendly.
- Wow! That would definitely help with overfishing and it would allow fish to repopulate making sure we don't cause fish species to go extinct.
- Absolutely! All we need to do is make sure we enforce these limitations to make sure they are being followed.
- That's right! We, the government, can regulate fishing and enforce limits on how much people can fish.
- Did you know you at home can also help with this problem
- That's right! Doing so decreases the demand for fish meaning fishermen don't have to catch as many fish to keep up.
- This also helps diversify a country's economy allowing the country to expand in different areas.
- Yes! We can lessen the amount of fish in our diets.
- However, there is some bad news. We need to start implementing these solutions now before it's too late.
- We are at an important moment in history. Now is the time to act!
- Science says seafood could be gone by 2048 due to overfishing and our lack of care for the oceans.
