Hi Everyone,
Sorry that I was not able to do this last week on Friday but I am able to will post it today so...
Who likes fishing? I haven't gone out fishing but I did saw some people fishing at the wharf in Timaru and at the pier in New Brighton.
I believe most New Zealanders enjoys fishing. Sadly they end up fishing on the same region that it ends up not having enough fish in the region anymore. When this happens, they called the area 'overfished' and then no one is allowed to fish in that region, to help get more fish in that region. The New Zealand Government made a law to stop people going and fish there. If you are caught fishing at an overfished region, you will need to pay a fined. The maximum fine for fishing in a restricted area is $100 000. This is a lot of money.
What are your thoughts about this rule? Do you think it's fair for people to pay up to $100,000 for overfishing?
I think it is fair and good because If we overfished we would be hurting the environment by hurting the ocean and that is bad. Also if we overfished we would not have enough fish in the region which would be bad to.But I also think that is a lot of money to pay so I think it is good and bad.

Tena koe Talisa,
ReplyDeleteIt's great to see you expressing your thoughts and ideas about overfishing in New Zealand.
I agree with you, $100,000 is a lot of money however it would cost a lot of money to support repopulating the fish numbers if we were to allow overfishing is certain regions. Why do you think it is so important to keep our oceans safe?
I loved your blog post Talisa, you are doing a great job in the SLJ.
Until next time, happy blogging :)
