  11. Overfishing Facts • China is first in the countries that most harvest fish • Cod, Hake, and other fish have dropped 95% • 200 meters below sea level • Illegal fishing contributes

  12. Bycatch Facts • The following have been affected: • Many whales, sharks, turtles, and seabird • Red snappers • Invertebrate

  13. Effects on China • 80% of all fishermen will suffer • 80-90% of all boats in 2012 were unused • China mostly uses trawl and set nets • 90% of fish have already been caught

  14. GREENPEACE ASIA • Greenpeace is a non-governmental organization who campaigns on global environmental issues • The key threats that Greenpeace’s Defending our Oceans Campaign addresses includes Industrial fishing, by-catch, unfair fisheries, global warming, and pollution.

  15. Our Goals: The Greenpeace Defending Our Oceans Campaign hopes for stronger regulations for the fishing industry and campaigns for the end to destructive fishing practices.

  16. Pacific Marine Reserves

  17. Solutions • Reduce CO2 emissions and greenhouse gas emissions through less reliance on fossil fuels • Use more renewable, sustainable energy sources • Pollute less; recycle more • Use less agrochemicals • More sustainable fishing practices • Better legislation and regulation
