Communication

H. Read the information. What does sustainable mean?

(Đọc thông tin. bền vững nghĩa là gì?)

Fish is one of the world's favorite foods. Around the world, the average person eats 36 pounds (16 kg) of fish every year. But many kinds of fish around the world are disappearing because people catch too many of them. Scientists say that 90 percent of the biggest fish are gone now. If we catch too many big fish now, there won't be any baby fish in the future. Some species of fish will become extinct. Our way of fishing now is not sustainable— if it continues, it will hurt the environment.

Answer:

Sustainable means being able to maintain something over a long period of time without causing harm to the environment or depleting resources. In the context of fishing, sustainable fishing means catching fish at a rate that allows the population to remain healthy and abundant for future generations. It involves using fishing methods that minimize damage to the environment and avoiding overfishing or taking too many fish from the population, so that the population can replenish itself naturally.

Goal check

In groups, discuss ways to solve fishing problems.

(Thảo luận theo nhóm để giải quyết các vấn đề câu cá)

1. Read each plan. What will happen if we follow each one? Write some notes.

2. Discuss the plans with your group.

3. As a group, decide which is the best plan.

4. Explain your decision to the class.

Answer:

Plan A: Don’t eat fish!

• If people follow this plan, it will help reduce the demand for fish and prevent overfishing.

• The ads and commercials can raise awareness about the negative impacts of fishing on the environment.

• However, this plan might not be effective if people don't understand the importance of sustainable fishing or if they don't have access to other sources of protein.

Plan B: Safe fish symbol

• If people follow this plan, it will encourage them to choose fish that are caught in a sustainable way and help promote responsible fishing practices.

• The symbol can make it easier for consumers to identify which fish are sustainable and which are not.

• However, this plan may not be effective if not enough supermarkets and restaurants use the symbol or if the symbol is not regulated and monitored properly.

Plan C: Strict laws about fishing

• If people follow this plan, it will help enforce sustainable fishing practices and prevent overfishing.

• The police presence can deter fishing boats from breaking the laws and can help protect marine habitats.

• However, this plan may not be popular among fishermen and may require significant resources to implement and enforce properly.

Group decision:

The best plan is a combination of Plan B and Plan C. By promoting sustainable fishing practices with the safe fish symbol, and enforcing these practices with stricter laws and police presence, it can help ensure a sustainable future for our oceans and fish populations.

Explanation:

This plan combines the benefits of both Plan B and Plan C. By promoting sustainable fishing practices with the safe fish symbol, it encourages people to make informed choices about the fish they eat. By enforcing these practices with stricter laws and police presence, it helps prevent overfishing and protects marine habitats. This plan addresses the issue from both the demand side and the supply side, and can help ensure a sustainable future for our oceans and fish populations.
