Social Studies - Sustainable Fishing

 Shark Finn Soup Topic

I wasn't here last lesson so I didn't learn about the shark Finn soup and haven't made a presentation for it.

Sustainable Fishing:

How is commercial fishing a threat to dolphins and bird life (by catch)?


- Bycatch is the unwanted fish and other marine creatures trapped by commercial fishing nets during fishing for a different species. Bycatch is where the marine animals are caught accidentally in nets and on hooks while people are fishing. Bycatch occurs in both recreational and commercial fishing. Every year many marine animals die needlessly including sea lions, sharks, seabirds, turtles and dolphins.
