https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw How do the locations of the world’s fisheries relate to levels of human population and seafood consumption? en-us 2017-12-06 17:08:47 UTC 2025-11-22 12:28:44 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216136601 Claim: Fishing locations don't generally have a high human population nearby, so seafood is mostly transported to more populated areas.

Evidence:
Map (https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/fn9dEEgJA0IzRFQeWzczMv//?edit=cXdEOllgSjQ4vYFnCh2spt)

Reasoning:
With today's technology, fishing can be done easily by a small crew and give high yields, so fishing is done where there are lots of fish rather than where there's lots of people. Fish are transported to areas of high human population.]]> 2017-12-14 13:30:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216136601 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216136740 Claim:
Locations with higher populations tend to have less environmental friendly fishing techniques.

Evidence: https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/f5UFz0y2ut8Tfetk15jyzt//?edit=WU0oJR6srEKreQGlo75UI

Reasoning: 
Places with higher populations will have less friendly fishing techniques. This is because more food will be needed to support the high population. Therefore, there will be fishing techniques which will gather a lot of fish using less time and money. The surplus fish will most likely be exported to other countries. ]]> 2017-12-14 13:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216136740 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216138990 Claim:
Fishing methods that leave a negative impact on the environment are typically used by locations with higher populations.

Evidence:

Reasoning:
Places with higher populations use fishing methods that have a greater impact on the environment. For example; methods used by North West pacific cause ____ issues, and the area around this fishing region has a high population. This is different than methods used in]]> 2017-12-14 13:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216138990 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139270 Claim: In the areas where there are more people, the fishing techniques seem to rely on a higher yield aspect rather than worrying as much about the environment.

Evidence:  https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/#/

Reasoning: the reasoning that they use less eco-friendly techniques is due to the fact that they require a higher quantity of fish in order to feed the population. This causes the fishing techniques to become more concerned with higher yields and less about the economy.]]> 2017-12-14 13:38:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139270 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139296 Claim:
Where there is a larger human population, it is more likely that there are more fisheries found there.

Evidence:
https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/elL1FtLcefNAeuYsSh7UIS//?edit=hSgyHpCAT78uuPEN38mhzy

Reasoning:
The places that have a larger human population have more fisheries because more people are fishing with different techniques. This happens because those people are more likely to consume more seafood being so close to the shore. They also have a lifestyle that reflects a more seafood based nutrition.  ]]> 2017-12-14 13:38:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139296 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139325 Claim: Near fisheries, human population density is low, meaning that seafood consumption near these areas is also low.
Evidence:

Note: not all of our information has been copied into our map so here is the link to our google doc: https://docs.google.com/a/pinelakeprep.org/document/d/1ng5SGkxLcMtxtUbgUq-sBSgXPrBL9FGGjPL3CIM7i8w/edit?usp=sharing

Reasoning: On the map, the lightest colors (meaning the least population densities) were near the places that we marked as fisheries. This can be caused by the environmental problems caused by fisheries, so fishing companies tend to locate themselves where there are not a lot of people around.]]> 2017-12-14 13:38:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139325 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139614 Claim: The fishers are located in areas of a low human population and a low seafood consumption in the surrounding area because most of the fish are exported to other countries.

Evidence: https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/e5wbWxVs29ibI9txrLFM5O//?edit=dsxQIAU0wE6hixIuLRJ42X
Reasoning: High populations will have worse fishing techniques and strategies because they tend to not care and they just worry about getting the food for the people. Their main concern is feeding the people and as long as they get a lot of fish, then it doesn't matter how they got it ]]> 2017-12-14 13:39:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139731 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139802 Claim: Higher population usually correlates to local fisheries and high seafood consumption
Evidence: https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/2CG0zf3If4NYidRMsJpGR//?edit=1dDJudgmjyJVuHMTVVJtA
Reasoning: A high population requires a lot of food to survive. This is why fisheries develop– to feed a growing population. New technologies are also allowing fisheries to become more efficient, increasing seafood catch and consumption with less energy]]> 2017-12-14 13:39:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139802 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216139816 The labelling and area circling was really nice and made the map easily readable.

Evidence-https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/bJmfLZ4uC5Hwlc4YqYKPCH//?edit=eX89S1YmIvo2emyNggdAwh

Reasoning- in the map the areas highlighted areas are pretty heavily populated and have major fishing methods like bottom and mid trawling as well as longlines and traps for seafloor creatures.

Reasoning: https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/eOSpMeWSuFgC7rU2zA8h2F/?edit=bMjTem5cM4tPOuqVEJGtR6#.WjJ_SwrOYtc.gmail 
Reason: The fishing technics they use in fisheries around the world are harmful but accumulate a lot if fish at one time. So many of the fishermen do not care about the environment. They only care about getting paid.]]> 2017-12-14 13:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216140198 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216140719 Claim-Areas that are in close proximity to popular fisheries do not necessarily have larger seafood consumption.
Evidence
https://mapmaker.nationalgeographic.org/g5DCdweXVv2LzOwUr3IfL2//?edit=A2kZdfO9cqvzC8dJaHU4I
Reasoning- Ideal habitats for fish are not typically ideal for humans, given most of the fisheries are in Northern climates. Efficient ways of transportation allow for seafood to be transported from the fisheries to cities with higher population density.]]> 2017-12-14 13:42:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216140719 https://padlet.com/jessika_dorcas/xlb9a6nw10gw/wish/216141359 Good job!
