A-kids-to-kids on-line dialogue about our planet's fish crisis

For this blog, two questions were asked of NYC youth and Indo-Pacific youth:

Question#1: ["perspective of ocean fishes"] What is happening to our "homes": where we live, find food, have babies? [fish biology, basic sustainability concepts of marine ecosystem, types of destructive local and commercial fishing practices, etc.]

Question#2: ["perspective of Indo-Pacific and NYC youth"] How is over-fishing and the near collapse of your community's coastal ocean fisheries affecting you, your family, and community? [fish protein in your diet, fisherfolk parents conflicted re: "dirty-fishing" practices, need to move to the mainland where there's more food and more economic opportunities, towns are dying, etc.]

“Garbage panic”

May 8th, 2007

” On a hot summer morning, I travelled along way to explore the seas. I was shocked to reach a place with many garbages floating on the water. The Place smells bad, I also feel greasy and I can’t breathe there. “

    Sad that our fishes can’t even find a corner of the seo to call home. Garbages in the sea is the main reason why our fishes can’t live. I suggest that in areas like this we should gather group of students from local schools to do a beach cleanup that will one way or another benefit them. We need to educate the residents that they will soon be losing a big part of their family.
