Presentation transcript:

Blast fishing is a type of fishing that involves dynamite or homemade bombs being thrown into the ocean where a school of fish (or a high number of fish) are assumed to be. When the bombs explode underwater the fish die and float to the surface and this allows the blast fishermen to collect their catch. Bombs used to be made from unexploded shells left behind from World War 2.

Should blast fishermen be allowed to use this method of fishing? Should the people who carry out this activity be punished?

Reasons against blast fishing Reasons for blast fishing

The blast created by the bombs destroys coral reefs. Blast fishing is a danger to the blast fishermen.

Blast fishermen normally have no other alternative. Some of the blast fishermen think that there are reefs further out.

Government Organizations Fishermen Blast Fishermen

Species endangerment or extinction is possible Low standards of living and high unemployment The blast created by the bombs destroys coral reefs. Some fish remain at bottom of ocean after the blast.
