Paper on Fisheries Management
« on: November 13, 2011, 01:06:01 AM »

Hey guys, Im currently going to SFU and taking an environmental course and thought it would be a perfect opportunity to write my paper on fisheries management.  I have been reading the fishing related issues and news thread and other sources to get a head start on it and so far I got this...
1. Improper impositions of commercial and recreational fishing regulations
           -better stocking assessments
           -better commercial and recreational control and action
           -thompson steelhead and the commercial interferences/ways to improve to a sustainable river.
           -Budget cuts with the DFO leading to less action (ie. less control over fishers)
2. The creation of dams all throughout BC rivers
           -Don't know too much about this but just talk about the how dam implementation has a negative effect on our fish species
3. The unethical and misuse of fish farms/hatcheries. 
           - chilliwak steelhead issue
           - ISA lethal virus spread (plus others spread by fish farms)

Was just wondering if this is a good start and if i'm missing any important topics I could talk about.
Thanks

I think you could write a pretty good paper on #3 alone......

I would dial it back and focus on one topic assuming that this is only a term paper.  A focused paper usually turns out a lot better than one that inadequately tackles a large range of topics.

Solid topics that come to mind are:

1) Consequences/issues with hatchery enhancement of salmon and steelhead
2) Regulation of commercial/first nations/recreational salmon fisheries
3) Fish farm regulation/issues
4) Independent power projects throughout the province
5) Environmental threats to salmon and steelhead spawning streams (excessive water removal for irrigation, logging, increasing temperatures etc.)

Cheers,
