Developmental fishing in Queensland

A sardine fishery on the Pacific is an iconic endeavor, like corn farming in Iowa, shrimping in Louisiana or cod fishing in New England. But like any of those, it has had severe ups and downs in the past century, documented most famously in Cannery Row, written by John Steinbeck and set in Monterey. The collapse of the sardine stocks in the 1950s rebounded by the 1990s, but new environmental challenges have led to a dramatic turn this year: both the current and the upcoming

Within six months of the AP’s initial report, the government of Indonesia, whose coast Thai vessels routinely trawled, had ordered the release of more than 2,000 enslaved fishermen and arrested at least nine culprits. The media frenzy soon died down. Unscrupulous practices in Southeast Asian waters did not. Almost immediately, the Thai fishing boats that had evaded the Indonesian crackdown fled the area.

It may seem a bit odd to learn how to raise mealworms at first. Why would you ever want to have a supply of worms? Mealworms are not like the redworms you have in your worm composter. They won’t produce valuable worm castings for use in your garden. But they do have other benefits, and they’re certainly easy enough to cultivate. Today, we’ll look at every aspect of how to grow mealworms, from the life cycle of the worms themselves to how to provide a good habitat for them. Wh

Overfishing is a huge problem; it can lead to local or global extinction of species, which can have gigantic, horrible effects on the oceans as a whole and in turn on the planet’s health. There are some laws in place, but studies like this new one from the University of British Columbia show that they’re both ineffective and often play into a circular problem: the laws restricting illegal fishing are weak in part because the data is inaccurate, and
