Essays on Fishermen

The common resources are natural and cultural resources, and they include air, water, ocean and habitable earth. These common resources are accessible to all society members. The resources are not privately owned but instead are held in common. Due to a tragedy of commons, individual users of the shared resources act independently as directed by their self-interest and deplete the resources by behaving contrary to the shared resources. For instance, oceans as common resources are usually subjected to overexploitation and abuse since it is not private property. Since the competition of fisheries is high, the fishing firms demonstrate predatory ...

The companies of all sizes are obliged to comply with the laws and regulations of the country. All the organization should be aware of the fact that there are many different risks of infringing opposition regulations.

The fisherman’s war

The Vieques Island, which was used for military purposes, is now defined as a national Park. Currently there are only a few great resorts. Despite the quiet and calm present, in the past it was unquiet and people were fighting for their safety. In the 1970s the most famous cultural enemy against the U.S. military on the island of Vieques was the Fisherman war. In the struggle against the U.S. Navy Viequense were non-partisan and grassroots fishermen, who had to fight for their independence. Living conditions on the island deteriorated, so fishing became a form of cultural resistance, as ...

A River Runs Through It is a novel written by Norman Maclean and it consists of three short stories. The point of the stories is to reveal the ultimate truth of life which is what I could relate to. River is a metaphor for life itself and all the things that occur to people on their life paths. This message is Maclean’s most prominent legacy to the world because the river is constantly flowing and so is the life. Fly fishing is a very important part of the story and it is more than a hobby because it ...

There were a lot of knights recorded in King Arthur’s time. Most of them are renowned because of their greatness like Sir Launcelot du Lake, Sir Tristram de Liones, Sir Lamorak de Galis, and many more. Because of the numbers of the knights at that time many knights will forget the faces and will just rely on their titles. With all the titles they have, no one will forget the kindness of Sir Lamorak.

His firmness in the Isle of Servage gave great hope unto the people of the isle against their lord, Sir Nabon le Noire. He ...

We each have a very important individual role and responsibility towards the natural world and preserving the resources that we have in this world. Each person needs to take responsibility for themselves and their own actions in trying to preserve this beautiful planet for future generations. Some people may believe that environmental protection is not their problem, so they may ignore the issue all together. These people may believe that they are only one person, and that because they are only one person they will have no major impact on the earth, and therefore they have no reason to act ...

Introduction

Is the fish population close to extinction? This could be addressed by taking a look at the present trend in the marine and aquatic population. The marine and aquatic habitat house more population and species than the terrestrial. The researches have proved, and made it obvious by the fact that water bodies take up 70 percent of the earth surface. Fishes are the most common species in the aquatic and marine habitat. There are various types of fishes, and each species is important in the food chain. In fact, the depletion of one species can create incredible consequence and effect ...

“Good for me, good for you, and bad for us” as sung by the economists implies the tragedy of the commons. The common in this case is the pasture, which ensures that the flocks of the two economists thrive. The sheep provide benefits to them such as wool and meat. When a single economist increases his flock (selfish interest) to reap the maximum benefits of the sheep, it is “good for him.” When the other economist also pursues his selfish interest and increases the number of his animals, it would be “good for him.” But since the pasture is shared ...

It is now evident that as the world has extracted most of the less polluting oil, attentions are now being turned on the kind of oil that leaves the environment with a lot of dirty sludge- oil sands. Oils sands are partially consolidated sandstones or loose sands that contain naturally occurring mixture of clay, sand and water, saturated with extremely viscous and dense form of petroleum that is technically referred to as bitumen. Colloquially, it is also known as tar, due to the similar appearance in color and odor. The Canadian crude oil sands or bitumen is very thick and ...

Intercultural Communication

Before the arrival of the Portuguese in the year 1500, Amerindian people stayed in Brazil who spoke different languages. There were around six million Indians in Brazil who spoke 1,000 different languages. After arriving the Portuguese settlers encountered the Tupi people, who then controlled most of the Brazilian coast and used to speak a set of closely related languages. The Portuguese were called "Tapuias", by the Tupi people. In the first two centuries of colonization, a language known as ‘Línguageral’ was widely spoken by all, from Amerindians, Portuguese to the African and their descendants, and a vast area from Sao ...

Coast Fishery and the West Coast Salmon Fishery

Introduction History has it that the East Coast also known as Northern cod was one of the largest fish hubs in the Northwest Atlantic. The term East Coast Fisheries, arose from the sailors who had found the fishing grounds on the Eastern Coast of Canada. The entire communities greatly relied on fishing for their daily activities (Shield 22). No one ever imagined that the fishing industry would near extinction. Canadians and foreigners who had found great resources, generated a lot of revenue from the exercise, and this led to overfishing. Although Shield (23) believes overfishing was the reason to ...

Environmental concerns are always addressed in stable nations like the United States, but in countries with socio-economic and political problems such as Egypt, the government never takes care of the environmental issues. Water pollution in Egypt is one of the most threatening environmental concerns of the country. Water pollution affects the people’s healthy living standards as it reduces their ability to obtain and use water. Egypt is listed among the ten countries that are threatened by water crisis by 2025 due to the rapidly increasing rate of pollution in the water of the Nile River . About 97% of ...

A miracle cannot be explained with the laws of sciences or the ordinary human understanding, attributed to supernatural forces that exist in the world. The Bible provided GOD’S teaching, instructions and His will on humankind. The performance of miracles started in the Old Testament with the prophets and believers such as MOSES who were anointed by GOD to lead the children of Israel. GOD proved HIS existence to the people through performing miracles that an ordinary man would not perform. Those who doubted the existence of GOD in the Old Testament were convinced that there was a true GOD ...

Introduction

Our knowledge of ocean life is limited to big fishes and salty water. However, with new discoveries it is now evident that ocean life is mainly kept in balance by microorganisms. Billions of micro, nano and singular celled organisms called planktons are the primary producers of the marine fish web. Any living being in order to survive needs energy in the form of food and on earth the sole supplier of energy is the Sun. Be it ocean food chain or terrestrial food chain it always start with the sun. In case of terrestrial chains plants and weeds are ...

(Course No.) (City & State) A node contained determined distances from itself to other three nodes s1, s2 and s3. The other nodes are defined as S1 = (ax, ay). S2= (bx, by). S3= (Cx, Cy). The distances from node N to each of the three nodes is r1 and r2. The Trilateration problem is to find the coordinates of the unknown node N= (nx, ny) from the given information.

A complicating factor is that the unknown node coordinates are moving and the measurements contain measurement features.

The intersection of surfaces in a sphere can be found by formulating equations of the three spheres and then solving for the unknowns in the x, y and z planes. ...

Chi Square statistic is a nonparametric statistical procedure that is used to compares the totals between categorical data. It is one of the most used types of nonparametric statistic which can be a one-way or two-way. The number of data two be compared is not limited to two as it can be several categories independent of each other. It is commonly used to compare an observed data with an assumption. The larger the value got from solving the Chi-Square this just means that the values of the two are apart thus the null hypothesis has proof to say that it is ...

One of the classic examples of the tragedy of the common is the fishing industry. The scenario occurs when there are incomplete property rights and any fishing agent can access the resources, fish, openly. Therefore, the fishing activity is non-excludable because the migratory aspect of fish species provides a challenge on developing protection rights to the fish in the fishing grounds, mostly in sea. However, as the number of the fishermen increases, the aggregate level of fish catches increases, hence reducing the population of fish species on the fishing ground. Therefore, due to this factor the fishery is considered as a ...

Film studies: The Drifters

The twentieth century opened the new era of development and led to collision of the modern industrialized world and pure untouched nature. John Grierson was extremely fond of tendencies of the modern art. He would consider them to reflect the coming changes in their full extent. The other peculiarity was his interest in Soviet films, especially those of Sergei Eisenstein. All these things rolled into one were expressed in the brand-new technique of representing the reality.

After Lumier brothers John Grierson made another breakthrough which became the turning point in the history of the whole cinematography. He appeared ...

Coral bleaching occurs when there is physiological stress experienced by the coral reefs. The stress is caused by an imbalance of the symbiotic relationship that the corals have with the algae that live within them. These algae are of the genus Symbiodinium. The algae are important to the coral reef since they are a source of nutrition and color. The algae will reduce or all will leave the coral reefs when there are harsh physical conditions. When this occurs, there is no tissue growth and sexual production in the corals. They end up losing color and thus the term coral ...

Coral Bleaching: Causes, Effects and Response Action Plan Coral bleaching occurs when there is physiological stress which leads to an imbalance of the symbiotic relationship that the corals have with the algae that live in the coral leaves (Rosenberg, Kushmaro, Kramarsky-Winter, Banin and Yossi 1). The algae will reduce or all will leave. The algae are important to the coral reef since they are a source of nutrition and colour. When this occurs, there is no tissue growth and sexual production in the corals. They end up losing colour and thus the term coral bleaching (Douglas, 386). The skeletal ...

Water Resource Issues

Water resources refer to the sources of water that are harnessed by human beings for household purposes, agricultural, industrial use, recreational facilities like swimming pools and eventually for environmental activities. Besides human beings, all other forms of life on planet earth are entirely supported by the use of water. Out of all the water on planet earth, 97% is salty water while 3% is fresh water (Pearce, 2006). Examples of water resources include lakes, oceans, rivers, seas, ponds, and dams. What needs to be understood is that most of the human uses of water require fresh water. There ...

Water Resource Plan

Water is the major fundamental element for the existence of all life forms. Water has a molecule that is composed of one atom of oxygen and two atoms of hydrogen. It exists in three different states: gaseous state, solid state and liquid state. It is mostly in its liquid state and it is mainly found in large water bodies such as lakes, oceans, seas, rivers, dams, and ponds. Clean water is vital for the survival of life be it for animals, human or even plants. Due to its function as a universal solvent, water has a major role in the world economy ...
