I think we should at least give a lest stricter hasrsher punishments to ppl committed those offense that are hurting our envorinment.

I think the best way to institute and enforce controls over the fish harvesting is by weighing the fish that are caught daily and if there is over 80lbs of fish then their should be a fine. I'm not sure of how doing this will benefit me but i know it will benefit the ecosystem.

First, I think there should be a ban placed on the use of long lines and all other fishing devices that are longer than 2.5 kilometers. Next, there should an incentive for people to want to follow the law. For example, if you were to inform the Interpole of someone using illegal fishing devices, then you would receive an “informative check.” (To prevent false accusations there would have to be would have to be proof.) This would benefit everyone especially future generations because they would be able to see all the beautiful animals in the oceans.

Well first off i would put a strict policy on hunting on the manatees. I would also consider moving them into a better habitat, for the cause of their extintion. I would also consider putting out a fine for whoever is caught hunting these creatures.

Isolates their breeding grounds. Cut of activity to their migratory paths so they wont be injured or killed. Dont hunt them.

I think that we should be able to stop harming the ocean, water, lakes, rivers, etc,.

Put then in the areas where the invasuve species are and it will provide them with them enough foood then they would live onger rasing their popualtion

i say stop poluting their habitat, stop hunting them and help insure they are able to breed. stop damaging their food supply

One thing that we should be implementing to protect the Manatee are stricter restrictions on what we do with our fertilizers and sewage. Some other things that we should implement are no boating zones for marine life only. We should also cut down our fishing or find another way that is not dangerous to the Manatees.

first i think fishing poles and devices shouldnt be used in certain environment. i also think that there should be a tax on those people who pollute the environment of the manatee. then i would restrict areas were manatees strive and live.

I think we should restrict fishing devices,prevent habitat loss by making guidelines that boats can follow also protect endagred species seasonally.
Jordan M

First I would try to make the area restricted on where the manatee live so that boats will not be able to be there. Or try to set up a plan where people who see the boats could tell the law. Then also they could be moved to a zoo where the zoo could try to help their population grow.

Less destructive way of fishing

I believe that we should find less harmful ways to fish. Humans period just have to be more cautious of what we do.

The current flooding situation has effected the environment tremendously. We will lose a lot of our homes due to this.

The current flooding situation is threatening to the Missouri wetlands because it's covering all the great lands. It's just too much water everywhere and more and more storms are occuring. It's just all bad with all the flooding issues.

The Current flooding situation is threating missouri wetlands by destorying the wildlife around the wetlands.

The current flooding situatin is causing the soil to deteriorate and damaging animal habitats. The situatsion also affects farmers and their ability to plant crops and it slows down pollination.

Flooding situation threatens missouri wetlands because the soil is ruined which may cause crops and etc to be killed off.

The current flooding situation is threating wetlands in Missouri by continuing to destroy the wildlife and all of our homes and properties.

The flooding of Missouri will change the shape of our wetlands and the function of them because of the high amounts of water. The plants and aquatic animals might have to migrate due to the flooding. Flooding also pollutes our wetlands and aquatic systems.

The current flooding situation are threatening Missouri wetlands by shifting climate weather,the environment(wetlands)by relacoting animals and ecosystems.

No, I do not think that genetically engineered rice is an answer to malnutrition in under developed countries. This will only harm them more.
Amanda_I

I do not believe genetically engineered rice is the answer to malnutrition in under developedn countries. By genetically engineering the food you miss some of the natural nutrients you'd get from growing it.
Mercedes B

I don't believe genetic engineering is the situation to the problem because it could cause many gentic diversity issues beacuse we could cause numerous issues.
Mark_AA

I think that is one of the problems that contribute to the malnutrition in the undeveloped countries.

I dont know if it will solve every thing but it will solve a big part of it because in most of the devolping countries rice is one of their main food sorces.

Genetically engineering food is disgusting. I completely disagree with using technololgy to create food. Disreguarding what scientist say, I dont think it is safe.

The food prices will rise as well as the oil prices. This is evident because that has happened already.

Jeffery_W

If food prices continue to rise, less people will buy yhte more expensive items, changing the way they eat. This will also created a surplus of those items causing less production of it due to a smaller demand for said product(s).
Mark_AA
5/12/2011 01:24:17 am
Food production will began to decrease because we wont have the cars to transport our food due to the low amount of oil to run our cars.
Brenda_S
5/12/2011 01:25:34 am
If oil prices do continue to rise, i do food production will eventually slow down and maybe even stop. Oil is rather expensive and very hard to come about and if we run out of it, the question is, "what will we do next?"
Kendrick S
5/12/2011 02:09:26 am
food production when soon have to catch up with the productivity.
De'ja P
5/12/2011 02:42:44 am
If food prices continue to rise, virtually all food will be genetically engineered. People will be forced to consume these unhealthy goods because either the natural goods will be scarce or they can’t afford to buy them. Long term, younger generations will continue to develop at a quicker rate. Comments are closed.
