3. Natural selection: Aquaculture and bioengineered biologically engineered fish
- Engineer fish that consume fish more efficiently, can't defend themselves
- Don't use engineer engineered fish
3a. How will engineered fish who can't defend themselves work?
...
11. Worldwide education about fish conservation?
12. How do
- Present this as an international collection of scholars
...
17. Where does multitrophic aquaculture come into plan?
- predator vs. prey fish
- grow crops together increases health
- sea sponge in China: improves water quality
- waste management: algae breaks down waste, which feeds small plankton, etc., which feed fish wich feed people
18. What is the plan for Japan: huge historic fishing culture, developed, large consumption, large fishing fleet, small land area, aquaculture in practice, fish international waters?
19. How does plan address natural disasters?
- healthy, robust fish population is part of the goal
- marine protected areas are "insurance policy" against future change
- network of protected areas w/ different habitats
19a. Collapse of salmon population in Alaska? What then? Do you replace them or allow nature to take natural course?
- stop overfishing and pollution
- our plan is focused on reducing human impact, not nature's impact
20. Were on the verge of fundamentally changing the oceans as we know them? Needs big changes
- compliance of humans is main issue
- we may not be able to fully reverse problem, but we can even it off
- education is tantamount
21. Fishing in both fresh and salt water--have humans interfered with those fish?
- Dams are major obstructions to migratory capabilities
- estuaries: nitrogen runoff from agriculture is a problem
- adapt ag techniques to minimize N runoff
- genetically modified crops can minimize the amount of N needed
22. How much does the plan cost? Where is the money coming from?
23. Do you have specific models for scenarios?
Recommendations
- Look at structure of the class
- Use hard facts--you need to know the evidence
- Look at past solutions--why haven't they worked? what's new about our idea?
- Use a global perspective--we will get questions on specific countries
- Africa
- China
- Japan
- Show that the plan could work, not that it must work
