A fishing community is experiencing a decline in fish stocks due to over-harvesting. The community must decide whether to implement fishing quotas to sustainably manage the fishery, which could lead to short-term economic losses but long-term environmental benefits.   Year Fish Harvest (tons) Economic Impact (USD) Fish Population Decline (%)2019 1000 1,000,000 302020 950 950,000 252021 900 900,000 202022 850 850,000 152023 800 800,000 10Based on the data table, what trend can be observed regarding fish harvest and fish population decline?    A.As fish harvest decreased, fish population decline decreased.B.As fish harvest decreased, fish population decline increased. C.There is no clear relationship between fish harvest and fish population decline. D.Fish population decline remained constant regardless of fish harvest.

Question 2Paper type: Paper 27 marksFigure 1. Trends in aquaculture and fisheries between 1950 to 2005.(Source: UNEP)ALTa) Calculate the mean annual increase in the total amount of fish harvested between 1950 and 2005. (1)b) Identify two reasons for the change in the amount of fish consumed between 1950 and 2005. (2)c) i) Describe TWO environmental impacts of intensive capture fisheries. (2)ii) Describe TWO environmental impacts of intensive aquaculture. (2)

The amount of food provided by wild-catch fish is plateauing worldwide, while the amountprovided by aquaculture is increasing. Suggest reasons for this

A fishing community relies on the ocean for their livelihood. They practice sustainable fishing methods and adhere to fishing quotas set by authorities. Tourists visit the area for recreational fishing, contributing to the local economy.   How do the fishing practices in the community impact the environment? Select TWO correct answers.A.They contribute to overfishing and depletion of fish stocks.B.They promote sustainable fishing practices and the conservation of marine resources.C.They disrupt marine ecosystems and harm non-target species.D.They have no impact on the environment due to the use of sustainable methods.
