West Coast Fishery
FACTORS THAT LED TO THE COLLAPSE
Overfishing - 1990's; massive yearly catch of salmon; usually young salmon; few adult salmons left
Change in Natural Conditions - environmental changes; warmer water (7â°C or higher); caused by global warming; Alaska has cooler waters; fish might spawn toward Alaska from B.C.; concluding in the loss of the west coast fishery
Lack of a Salmon Fishing Treaty - Canada wants restrictions on salmon to preserve it (Alaska disagrees saying there is enough salmon); no agreement between USA and Canada (salmon might disappear over that time period)
CHALLENGES FACING THIS FISHERY
First Nations - 1990 Supreme Court decision allowed them to fish for their own food, social and ceremonial purposes
Sport Fishing - want a bigger share of the available salmon; economic argument: bigger economic benefit to catch salmon by a recreational angler than a commercial fishing boat; king of dollar investments over all
Federal Government - helping with the cutback: they buy the commercial fishing licenses and boats; reduces the number of fishers
Yes, the collapse of the cod fishery is a clear example of interaction, specifically highlighting the relationship between human activity and ecological systems. Overfishing, driven by high demand and inadequate management practices, led to the depletion of cod stocks, disrupting marine ecosystems and affecting the livelihoods of fishing communities. This case illustrates how human interactions with natural resources can have profound and lasting impacts on both the environment and society.
