I think over fishing is bad but they should have to pay that much money maybe somewhere around $550 would be fine. Some of those people who fish need more money for food. But then again the fish might not be able to breed cause there aren't enough fish to breed.
So in some ways it is a reasonable amount and in some it's not.
Kia Ora, Samantha!
ReplyDeleteWell done for completing another Summer Learning Journey activity, 'Off the Menu'— I'm happy to read your opinion and your reasoning for it in this post, good job! I agree with you, overfishing is terrible because species do deplete, but you're also right in saying that some people need their money so receiving a fine would be incredibly unfortunate for them. $100,000 is a lot of money, but in my opinion, I suppose that because it is so frighteningly massive, it works to scare people away from overfishing areas. Have you ever been fishing?
I look forward to your response!
Cheers,
Jordan
