Life does not always find the way——The Impact of Economic Activities in Italian Fisheries on The Environment by

Circular Flow Model

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 04:00:49 UTC

Overfishing disrupts the ecological balance and depletes fish resources.

Workers at sea generate waste and the feed used in aquaculture pollutes water and harms biodiversity.

Things above reduced household income,market supply and employment.

The environment and fisheries are closely intertwined.

Basic Messages

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 08:36:50 UTC

Italy, has a total population of approximately 60 million and a land area of around 300,000 square kilometers.

Environmental Condition

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 08:44:16 UTC

The northern plains experience mild climates, shielded by mountain ranges from cold air, creating very pleasant weather. However, global warming has led to changes in Italy's lake environments.

Italy Fishery Sector

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 08:46:01 UTC

While Italy is largely self-sufficient in agriculture, it is also a net importer of fish products . The scarcity of resources has led to increased costs in fuel, refrigeration technology, indirectly affecting the cost and profit of fishery development.

Economic Condition

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 08:48:28 UTC

Italy's GDP declined in 2020 and the government introduced fiscal stimulus plans to boost economic recovery, projecting a recovery to $2.25 trillion by 2023, but this also led to an increase in public debt and fiscal deficit as a percentage of GDP.

Example of environmental impact

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 09:15:21 UTC

Overfishing and the rising temperature have caused higher salt concentration of lake------"ocean acidification", which results in excessive proliferation of blue crabs and algae. According to the local fisherman, that causes the death rate of calms may increase to even 50% .

Stakeholder Ecological Compensation

Local government encourage the mass capture of blue crabs for export. This initiative has effectively compensated for some of the fishermen's losses and eased environmental pressure. However, for blue crabs that are not suitable for sale, the Willingness to Pay (WTP) is much lower than the Willingness to Accept (WTA).

Potential Medium- And Long-Term Effects

gcns7f6znv — 2024-04-06 12:45:58 UTC

During the fishing operations, unscientific fishing practices and excessive number of fleets will disrupt the marine ecological balance. Furthermore, with Italy's economic development just coming out of a recovery phase and increasing economic activities, which is prone to changes in water quality, causing long-lasting irreversible effects and destroying biodiversity.

Other Policies
