Blog 4

I read the article "Fisheries Depletion" by Jean-Francoise Rischard. I extremely enjoyed reading this and got a lot out of it.

I learned that:
"With the population increase and higher standards of living, demand will increase substantially. Fishing is central to the livelihoods and food security of many communities, indeed entire countries and regions. The international trade in fish and fish products is valued about $50 billion a year."

By the year 2050 almost every single fish or mam
mal living in the ocean will be dead.

Huge nets are being used and fish are being wasted.

Fish are also being genetically influenced so that larger fish with more meat on them will be created.

Many other concepts were taken into place with the reading of this article.

This article was extremely important and helpful in my work.

Process Journal

After finishing my project, I am happy to say that I worked well, got a lot done, an feel that my information is extremely useful and helps explain concept of Fisheries Depletion in a new way. I made a brochure, many Blog entries, an I-Web, a VoiceThread, an Animoto and many other forms of work.

My Brochure has two pages, the First looks like this:
The Second page looks like this:


This brochure tells a huge amount of information on Fisheries Depletion. It was not hard to make, but it was hard to find good information to put on it.

My i-Web has many pages. These can be found on my recent post or "I-Web Screen shots.

My Voicethread took a long time to make because of the recording. The problem here is that the class is normally loud, so I had to yell for the voice to be heard. I hope you can hear it.






My animoto took almost no time, except the fact that good pictures were very hard to find. I hope you like it.


These concepts were not always easy to make, I hope you like it as much as I liked making it.
