跟贴：说得好,大家可能都对陆地野生环境了解多些,但海洋和我们的关系和对我们的影响绝不比陆上少. 人类食用海躜的量比家禽和牛的总和还要多,靠近海洋的人口也数以十亿计. 鱼业滥捕和鱼量?少的情?也引起联合国和不少国家的关注和实行一些管制措施. Project Aware Foundation (一个海洋环保的组织) 有些提示消费者如何选择和怎样合理负责任地食用海躜. 以下是一些摘要.
10 Things You Can Do To Help
1. Make informed decisions while selecting seafood. Support fisheries that are better for the environment and relieve pressure on those that aren't doing as well. Many organizations inform consumers about which seafood can be selected and which to avoid to reduce overfishing and damage to the underwater environment.
2. When buying seafood, look for eco-labels such as Dolphin Friendly or Marine Stewardship Council. The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) has developed an environmental standard for sustainable and well-managed fisheries. This designation rewards environmentally responsible fishery management practices.
3. Ask your local supermarkets and restaurants if they stock seafood with sustainable labels. If not, encourage them to add sustainable species to their product line. Your consumer power can influence local businesses.
4. Don’t assume that farmed seafood is always an environmentally friendly alternative. Depending on the species farms can introduce or increase waste, toxins, disease and chemicals into the natural environment. Carnivorous species like salmon and shrimp require an unsustainable amount
of wild caught fish in order to reach marketable size. This means that the increase in farmed carniverous fish still put pressure on fished species as they are caught to produce feed.
5. Eat lower down on the food chain. Fish species that are higher on the food chain such as tuna, swordfish and shark, tend to be larger in size and fewer in number than those at lower levels. Occasionally eating seafood lower on the food chain can reduce pressure on higher species and make better use of protein sources.
6. Stay tuned in to fisheries management issues and support initiatives that improve fisheries through responsible management, conservation, fishing practices and fishing gear.
7. Be sure your country has implemented the United Nations (UN) Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and related International Plans of Action (IPOA). These voluntary measures aim to ensure the effective conservation and management of living aquatic resources. A major focus of these actions is to halt illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, which can cause problems for international fisheries management. If your country hasn’t implemented the Code and a national action plan, encourage the government to do so.
8. Support the establishment of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). Research indicates that properly designed MPAs preserve biodiversity while providing refuge and nursery grounds for fish species.
9. Think twice before starting an aquarium hobby. Unless aquarium or ornamental fisheries are carefully and responsibly managed, collection of these species for captive display often damages coral reefs and marine species. Serious concerns include destructive capture methods, overexploitation and high mortality rates during transportation.
10. Educate your family, friends and coworkers. Tell them why you support sustainable fisheries and how they can help make a difference. Consumers, through their voices and pocketbooks, have
the power to make positive change ? but only if they make the effort.
