2. Different marine living resources are harvested in and around velddrift. These resources include Sardines (Harvested at saldahna bay), anchovies and tuna species which are the resources for the big fishing industries in and around velddrift and they are captured by using purse seine vessels and trawler vessels. Another living resource includes Mullets which are the resources among the locals owning small businesses and they are captures by gill nets, beach seine nets, ring nets and traps. Fence or maze traps, built at right-angles from shore-lines, are used to guide spawning migrations of mullets into large retaining areas in the berg river estuary. Some other resource includes Galjoens, west coast Steen bras, Elf and Snoek fish; these are …show more content…
Different legislations have been applied to manage this Mullets resource at velddrift. These legislations include; Marine living resource act, 18/98, and Environment Conservation Act, 73/89. The Marine living resource act aims to provide for the conservation of the marine ecosystem, which includes long term sustainable utilisation of resources and orderly access to exploitation, utilization protection of certain living resources. This act is being used at the Berg river estuary where Mullets is the main living resource harvested by communities. The purpose of the act is to provide control over this resource in a rational and unbiased manner to the benefit of all communities of velddrift. The act aims to achieve the best use and ecological sustainable development of Mullets species at the Berg Estuary (Waternet.co.za, 2016). This legislation also states that no person has the authority to engage in commercial fishing or any other type of fishing, or participate in Mari-culture and to operate a fish processing establishment of fishing, no person is allowed to abolish any fauna and flora rather than to partake in fishing Mullets species. For a person to undertake or engage to operate a fish process establishment or to undertake in any sort of commercial or subsistence fishing, one must be granted a right to do so by DAFF (Anon,
In Ray Bradbury’s, “the Veldt” the modern criticism he is trying to make is that technology is taking over our lives. It really shows it when George said, "But I thought that's why we bought this house, so we wouldn't have to do anything?” It really shows how people these days are depending on money and electronics to live their everyday life to do simple things like make dinner or vacuum your room. Another criticism it's making about modern politics and society is that we get to have everything we want if we have the money. The kids in the story got everything they wanted, they were completely spoiled. But once someone finally told them no they freaked out and couldn't handle it because that room had taken over their lives and that led to
Ray Bradbury written a story about how technology made a perfectly normal family into a completely corrupted family which is called, The Veldt. The Veldt is a science fictional story featuring a nursery that change the appearance in the inside. The family in the house had two kids named Wendy and Peter who were abusing the nursery to the point of having Africa as the basis of the nursery’s appearance. This was until the mother and father of the kids, Lydia and George Hadley tried to stop this from actually happening and the children locked the parents into the nursery to only die after that. The theme of The Veldt is that relying on technology can destroy personal relationships. The tools that are being used is the characters feelings and actions,
“The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury deals with some of the same fundamental problems that we are now encountering in this modern day and age, such as the breakdown of family relationships due to technology. Ray Bradbury is an American writer who lived from 1920 to 2012 (Paradowski). Written in 1950, “The Veldt” is even more relevant to today than it was then. The fundamental issue, as Marcelene Cox said, “Parents are often so busy with the physical rearing of children that they miss the glory of parenthood, just as the grandeur of the trees is lost when raking leaves.” Technology creating dysfunctional families is an ever increasing problem. In the story, the Hadley family lives in a house that is entirely composed of machines. A major
“We’ve given our children everything that they have wanted. Is this our reward-- secrecy and disobedience?”(Bradbury). In the futuristic short story, “The Veldt,” written by the the well-know author, Ray Bradbury, two parents, George and Lydia have purchased a house with artificial intelligence; as a result, it has done everything for them and their kids, Peter and Wendy. Artificial intelligence, or AI, is known as any work brought forth by technology-- including machines, computers, etc.— and is becoming more relied on by the human race. According to Or Shani, the CEO of Adgorithms— the first company to develop and use AI for marketing— dates signs of AI back to Ancient Greece; however, for a long period of time, it was overlooked and not valued much (Shani). As we
Imagine you 're in a silent dead house The only noise you hear is yourself breathing. You hear yourself breathing in and out as you walk around with everything off. You turned everything off and it feels like there 's dead body everywhere. Your kids are begging you to turn everything back on not wanting to leave the nursery. This is what happens in the book “The Veldt” by Ray Bradbury is about the family and their kids have this room that is called the nursery. In the nursery the point is to travel where ever you want but you stay in the house you just see what is looks like. Their kids Wendy and Peter don 't use it for that reason. They only go to one place and one place only and that is Africa. One thing that happens in this book is that the kids are too obsessed with technology like the nursery which is to learn about other places and what they they look like and what it feels like, but that’s not what they do and things are getting out of control with them always visiting Africa.
In a story, the tone is often more important than any other kind of Author’s Craft. This is best seen in the short story The Veldt by Ray Bradbury The most prominent of all being Tone/Mood. All throughout the story are tiny clues and hints about the end fate of the parents, and the inner minds of their children. Through the story, they hear eerily familiar screams coming from the Nursery. While there is still tons of tone, there is many other kinds of Author’s Craft in the story. For instance, there is metaphors of how technology can take over your life and vivid imagery. Each detail is made in a creepy way, designed to bring chills up your spine. Every dialogue has a worried tone, from the parents fearful for their lives and children, to the ending words of the story. The story is absolutely saturated with tone.

Enhua LiuSheryl NewtonENG 081February 21In the essay I will be comparing and contrasting the technologies which are stated in the Veldt and the technologies which already exist nowadays life, looking at both the similarities but also what makes these two hands very different. In the novel, the Veldt, Lydia and George Hadley live in a Happy-life Home, a technological marvel that automatically tends to every need of them. For example, it dresses them, cooks food, brushes their teeth and rocks them to sleep.

In ¨The Veldt¨ by Ray Bradbury the parents, George and Lydia are at fault for their own deaths, because they did not limit their kids screen time which made the kids spoiled. Also the parents didn't spend time with their kids, which made the family more spread out and not close.
According to a study done by Living Planet Report in 2015, 29% of the world’s fishing stocks are considered overfished and an additional 61% is fully exploited with no possibility to produce more fish. Our environment is currently afflicted by a number of different problems, one of which is overfishing. Overfishing is defined by FishOnline as, “Fishing with a sufficiently high intensity to reduce the breeding stock levels to such an extent that they will no longer support a sufficient quantity of fish for sport or commercial harvest.” The overfishing situation is being exacerbated by non-sustainable and destructive fishing practices and unfair fisheries partnership agreements; while there are currently attempts being made at fixing these problems and their effects on overfishing, nothing has been extremely effective.
This issue of overfishing covers vast fields, such as science, humanity, economy, society and nature. The term “optimum”, in regard to the yield from a fishery, is difficult to be defined, precisely and fixedly. Generally speaking, we can describe it as follows: (Niles E.
