Protecting Salmon


Lundy (2008) in his article “New life in old river; Clyde’s amazing transformation from dead fish zone to cleaned-up waterway teeming with salmon” states that many kinds of sea animals, especially salmon, returned to the Clyde River after it became free of pollution. The author says that the Clyde River had very dirty waterways, and you saw the dead fish with your eyes thirty years ago. Moreover, industry garbage and shipbuilding were two main reasons for Clyde pollution. In addition, he points out that the river became clean after the decrease in shipbuilding and development of the sewage system. Also, the author mentions that one of the amazing things was the returning of many salmon to the Clyde River after years of absence. The author asserts that Clyde’s river has not become fully cleaned up and there are some water pollution areas in the river because of litter and sewage work as an example. Finally, he points out that the ways that Sepa uses to protect the Clyde River from pollution.

It is clear that pollution is one of many harmful things to sea animals’ lives particularly salmon. People have to work hard to solve this problem; otherwise, the salmon and other fish will disappear. The author’s ideas that the Clyde River is cleaned up and the salmon is in the river because of that is invalid. He should not to say that because maybe there is some impact of pollution. Some people may start seeking to fish for the salmon and get diseases. People should try to save salmon from extinction by following these three ways: organize fishing, provide proper environment, and avoid trading in big quantities.

First, organizing fishing is one of the ways to save salmon from extinction. Many countries have problems with random fishing. Moreover, they cannot control people and regulate some conditions for reasons such as the fact that they do not have a sector that should be responsible for sea life. For example, in the United States and Saudi Arabia you cannot go fishing without having a license for that; otherwise, you will be punished. There are some ways that help to organize the fishing like banning some areas that have some eggs of salmon and protecting the areas that are threatened by extinction. Some fishermen use equipment for fishing that hurts the sea world. Banning some areas when they are threatened with extinction are two examples for organizing fishing.

The second way to save salmon from extinction is to provide a proper environment. Fishermen and specialists in fish world choose the right world will help to make proliferation for salmon. For example, many countries have serious plan to prevent anyone from fishing to protect the salmon and wildlife. There are wonderful salutation for protect the salmon is salmon farms, which have big places that are equipped with new equipment and a big number of salmon in the same place. This farming salmon assists to increase the number of salmon quickly. Many countries are supporting this idea these days. In addition, government must become strict and have certain plan about cleaning up rivers and oceans. Educating people and changing some of their bad habits and charging factories for their pollution are some solution to get healthy environment. Farming salmon is one example that helps to provide a proper environment.

Lastly, traders have to eliminate selling salmon in big quantities in order to save salmons from extinction. Many traders are against this decision because they earn millions of dollars. Governments have to regulate selling salmon in big amounts. There are two ways to solve this problem. Governments have to make bounds limit for each industries in years. Also, governments must increase taxes for selling the extinct fish. Moreover, many people in the world like to eat salmon which makes the demand high. In addition, governments have to make laws that prevent the random selling of salmon in the entire world. In addition, governments must enforce fishermen for legal selling. Also, they should make penalties for illegal selling. Prohibiting illegal selling is an example of way that would help to save salmon from extinction.

In conclusion, organizing fishing, providing proper environment, and eliminating trading in a big quantity are three ways that would save salmon from extinction. People should think about the environment more than thinking about getting a lot of money. Many poor countries depend on fishing, so the impact on the sea environment will affect their economy. People often complain from the random fishing. Also, some industries have big ships with equipment that has high technology in the sea to search for the fishes in large quantities, so that will help to make fish extinction.
