"Sustainable fisheries, leaving the sea for future generations"

in the early 1990s The catch of cod, the 'national fish' in Europe and North America, has begun to drop sharply. The Grand Banks of Newfoundland, Canada, which was one of the world's largest fishing grounds in Daegu, saw its resources plunge due to overfishing, and in 1992, the Canadian government put the brakes on Daegu's fishing operations. In New England, the cod was also a symbolic fish. New England, where the port developed, used to be the place where more than 1,000 tons of seafood came into the port, but the fisheries industry collapsed after the 1990s. "In the early 1990s, overfishing and poor catch management were the starting point for the depletion of fisheries resources," Dick Jones, CEO of Ocean Outcoms, explained at a sustainable fisheries forum on the 22nd. Daegu prices soared after the devastation of the Grand Banks fishing grounds disrupted the supply of marine products. The price of cod in Britain, which stood at $84 per ton in 1992, soared t...

The Uncomfortable Relationship Between Climate Change and Viruses

We need to preserve bat habitats so we can stop the spread of the virus.    We live in the era of the Fourth Industrial Revolution but at the same time in the age of Guns, Germs, and Steels preached by Jared Diamonds. The spread and spread of a virus called Corona19 asks us. What era do we live in now?    Human history has a repetitive and familiar flow. It may be because we are human beings with 23 pairs of chromosomes. In addition to this, chasing the spread of viral diseases such as Nipah, SARS, Ebola, and MERS in the past will make the only bats among mammals capable of flying.    Bats have been with viruses for a long time. Fast-speed flapping for flight increases metabolism and body temperature. Bats consume three to five times more energy than land mammals of the same size because of their wings. This process produces harmful oxygen and cell damage, which generally causes inflammation in mammals. Excessive inflammatory reactions can cause disease ...
