I think it is fair that people should be forced to pay a fine for fishing in overfished areas. I think this because since that area has been overfished, rarely any fish will be caught and some might be breeding and fishing will disturb them. I think people should be paid a fine but not a high as 100,000. Somewhere between 50,000 to 80,000.

Hello again Nidhi,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see that you've completed so many activities! Well done :)
I enjoyed reading your opinion piece on overfishing. It sounds like you've put a lot of thought into justifying why you think the law needs to be in place. I agree with you, 100%. The effects of overfishing to our ecosystem could be catastrophic, so I think it is really important to have rules like this. Although, you are right, $100,000 is a lot of money. I guess such a large fine would (hopefully) deter people from fishing. Just outside of Auckland (where I live) there is a marine reserve where you're not allowed to fish or dive for shellfish but you can snorkel and use glass-bottom kayaks to see all of the fish. Is there anything like that in the Christchurch area?
It's wonderful to hear that the government and local communities are trying to solve these pollution problems. Have you been to either of these rivers?
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday Nidhi.
Blog ya later! :)
