Another environmental impact is with the impact on wild salmon. The aquaculture industry argues that farmed salmon eases pressure on wild stocks. Theoretically, this may be true but in practice the argument lacks strength. Wild salmon stocks are subject to quotas and active management from the Department of Fisheries, and the global overfishing problem is not necessarily related to wild salmon stocks. There is no evidence presented that demand for

Aquaculture in the Midwest Except for bucolic scenes of fishing on rivers meandering across the Midwest and Great Plains, most people don't equate fish with that region, at least not huge catches of commercial fish. However, as long ago as 1996, "traders in the 'futures pit' of the Minneapolis Grain Exchange were shouting and signaling bids and offers for spring wheat, white wheat, white shrimp and black tiger shrimp" (Weber 1996).

Two of the greatest threats to sustenance in India are drought and pestilence, both of which account for the widespread failure of many crops to reach harvest. The bollworm that ravages cotton crops in India accounted, in 2003, for the destruction of more than 50% of the nations' cotton harvest. (Yang, 1) However, during this same year, a breed of cotton was engineered for resistance against the bollworm "with a gene from the insecticidal bacterium Bacillus

The abalone must have fresh ocean water to thrive and have been carefully managed for numbers, in order to not over-harvest and allow for growth (Abalone 2006). Throughout the South Island there are 18 local r-nanga (committees). An elected representative from each r-nanga makes up Te R-nanga o Ng-i Tahu, the governing body overseeing the tribe's activities. The executive functions of Te R-nanga o Ng-i Tahu are carried out by the

The plan would be the result of the scientific method, through which the impacts and causes of the current environmental problems would be addressed. Additionally, the scientific method would sit at the basis of the future actions to be taken. These would traditionally include: The search for alternative sources of energy The search for renewable sources of energy The creation of an infrastructure which allowed the propagation and populous use of alternative energies The

Maintaining Peak Efficiency: Shipyards, the Merchant Marine Fleet, and New Technology Saudi Arabia, in order to develop a powerful maritime economy, should take note from the actions and attitudes of other maritime nations such as Norway. The Norwegian authorities have long supported a holistic approach to maritime management, which is reflected in their interest in maintaining equal footing for a variety of maritime interests. These interests include fishing/aquaculture, maritime traffic, and
