Comprehensive Report on Overfishing and Sustainability in Queensland

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of overfishing in Queensland, examining its causes, effects, and potential solutions. The study identifies key issues such as a lack of knowledge regarding fishing standards, unprotected fishing areas, and inadequate tracking activities in marine areas. The report explores opportunities to overcome overfishing, including the creation of protected marine areas, reducing trawling, and spreading information about overfishing. The report also investigates the undermining drivers of overfishing, such as increased exports and consumer demand, and their impact on the marine ecosystem. The conclusion emphasizes the need to reduce the causes and impacts of overfishing to maintain environmental stability, highlighting economic incentives and increasing exports as major contributors to the problem. The report also discusses the impact of overfishing on environmental and non-environmental factors, such as the natural balance of the ocean and traditional fishing industries. The report references several sources to support its findings and provide a detailed overview of the issue. The report is a valuable resource for students seeking to understand the complexities of overfishing and its impact on sustainability.

 Lack of knowledge regarding knowledge of fishing standards.
 Unprotected fishing areas.
 Lack of racking activities in marine areas.
Opportunities to overcome overfishing:
 Creation of Protection near all marine areas.
 Reducing trawling which is dragging fishes with the use of huge nets.
 Spreading information and knowledge to individuals regarding overstock of fishing.
One of the major opportunity to sustainability to overfishing is Right to food which is enacted by the government to make easy availability of good to the ones who are under the poverty line. Sea food is the major source which is assisting countries in serving livelihood and
nutritional food diet to poor people. Thus, it the factor which is not even in control of government or authorities as it is enacted to provide healthy food to every citizen living in the country.
OverFishing in Queensland
INTRODUCTION
Sustainability acts a tonic for establishing stability in environment, which
comprises pollution, nonrenewable resources and scarcity of resources. All three
steps in the poster will analyse the sustainability issue which is Over Fishing in
Queensland. It will examine the causes and effects of overfishing in the country.
STEP 3
Lack of knowledge regarding knowledge of fishing standards.
Unprotected fishing areas.
Lack of racking activities in marine areas.
Opportunities to overcome overfishing:
Creation of Protection near all marine areas.
Reducing trawling which is dragging fishes with the use of huge nets.
Spreading information and knowledge to individuals regarding overstock of fishing.
One of the major opportunity to sustainability to overfishing is Right to food which is
enacted by the government to make easy availability of good to the ones who are under the
poverty line. Sea food is the major source which is assisting countries in serving livelihood
and nutritional food diet to poor people. Thus, it the factor which is not even in control of
government or authorities as it is enacted to provide healthy food to every citizen living in
the country.
STEP1
The major sustainability issue is overfishing which is heading towards water pollution, growth of algae,
deliberate catches, declining health of coral reefs and many more. Over fishing is the issue which has led to
decline in numerous species which need to be protected. According to the annual report of Common wealth
government of Australia it has been stated that 13.5 fishes are overstocked.
Impact of overfishing on sustainability of environmental and non environmental factors such as:
Overfishing impacts the natural balance and health of ocean which leads to financial loss of the
country.
Increasing effects of overfishing destroyed numerous traditional fishing industries.
Overfishing is affecting the food source for the ones who depends on the sea food for healthy diet.
These activities are impacting the lives of essential sea fishes like, school of shark, orange roughy,
eastern gemfish, blue warehou etc. (Tim 2017).
Removal of fishes from sea is leading to water pollution because fishes are the major source which
assist in removing pollution from sea.
STEP 2
Undermining Drivers of OverfishingCausesEffectsIncrease in ExportRapid increase in export of fishes has disturbed the
ecological unity and the marine system.Increase in Consumer DemandRapid increase in demand for sea food vanished the
appearance of fishes. Economic incentivesDecline in valuable food sources. Lack of knowledge regarding fishing standardsLeads
to decrease in essential predators and coral reefs.
CONCLUSION
The report summarized that, in order to maintain stability of environment the country need to
reduce the causes and Impacts of overfishing. It has been evaluated that it is the major reason behind
increasing water pollution and decline of predators. Further, it has been examined that the major cause of
increasing this sustainable issue is economic incentive and increasing export. Hence, the report outlined
various causes and effects which impacting the favourable opportunities of fishing.
