Alaska salmon fishery

To start off Alaska is very cold, and during the colder season many fish tend to stay there, because they hunger for food, just like us people. That seems to be the best place to find food, because during this season, Alaskans use fishing to help keep survival, and that’s why fish stay where they are. Today Alaska Salmon is near the Kenai River, the Cooper River, and Bristol Bay. As you may know, improper fishing techniques are very damaging to the environment. But luckily the Atlantic Ocean, isn’t

Salmon hatcheries have been operated for a variety of purposes throughout their its history in this region, from harvest augmentation, to mitigation of habitat destruction, to conservation and preservation of native populations. Despite this long history, we are only just beginning to understand how hatchery-raised fish interact with and effect wild populations of salmon. Research shows that captive-bread salmon impact wild salmon in a variety of ways, from competing with them directly for resources

impacts on the environment, the academic division of fisheries science was developed. Fisheries science includes all aspects of marine biology, in addition to economics and management skills and information. Marine conservation issues like overfishing, sustainable fisheries and management of fisheries are also examined through fisheries science. In order for there to be plenty of fish in the years ahead, fisheries will have to develop sustainable fisheries and some will have to close. Due to the constant

Nonetheless, wild pacific salmon are fished near the shore or the ocean between May and September because they spawn in their river habitats during these months. The other challenge was that wild pacific salmon were depleting and protecting them was a great challenge as it was indirectly posing a threat to Walmart and its sea food supply chain. According to (Denend, 2010) major challenge was that commercial fishing of wild salmon was only permitted to the people who had permits

Oil spills have often occurred too many times in this world. Unfortunately, when this does happen, there is always losses of life. Many people are affected by it. There is always a price to pay. On March 24, 1989 the Exxon Valdez oil tanker spilt all its oil into the ocean.      Going about twelve miles per hour, the doubt of a oil spill was highly unlikely. But, when the oil tanker hit Bligh Reef in Alaska’s Prince William Sound, the worst oil spill in United States history

of 1,300 to 1,500 miles of Alaskan shoreline, an estimated death of around 250,000 seabirds, 2,800 sea otters, 300 harbor seals, 250 bald eagles, up to 22 killer whales, and billions of salmon and herring eggs, and the loss of 2.8 billion dollars that could have been made by the fisheries and tourist sites in Alaska. Crude oil is used to produce transportation fuels, fuel oils for heating and electricity generation, asphalt and road oil, and the feedstocks used to make chemicals, plastics, and synthetic

ECO/ENVIRO ISSUES Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Alaska, 1989 On March 23, 1989; a 987 foot Exxon ship was carrying 53,094,510 gallons (1,264,155 barrels) of North Slope crude oil and was headed for Long Beach, California. Before that day, they transported more than 8,700 times over 12 years without problems.The Exxon Valdez grounded at Bligh Reef that day, rupturing 8 of its 11 tanks. These spilled about 10.8 million gallons of crude oil into Prince William Sound (Gulf of Alaska). No human lives were lost as a

BACKGROUND The Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) service territory is in the Pacific Northwest. In 1937, BPA was established to construct facilities required to market and transmit electric power from the Bonneville Dam located on the Columbia River and to construct facilities necessary to transmit that power. BPAs mandate has been expanded to be the marketing agent for power from all of the federally owned hydroelectric projects in the Pacific Northwest, as one of four regional Federal power
