disadvantages of dynamite fishing in the Philippines and what are the ways of solving the problem?

Answer 1

Dynamite fishing

Answer 2

It destroys a lot of things under the sea like the coral reefs! and it could kill life! you could be killed too (if you got caught by the explosion) It destroys/ruins the balance under the sea!! and it's really not good especially if you catch the dead fish which has been killed by the dynamite. It could be contaminated by the components of the dynamite too!

The problem could be solve by guarding the seas at all costs. Or try to control the people who uses this method and stop them. Put heavy consequences whenever this method is used! Just to establish discipline to one's self. Or simply, cut off your hands :) ok joke!!

Answer 3

Destroys everything in the water,all fishes,coral reefs.Build hatcheries,for jobs and replace harvested fishes.make using dynamite for fishing a long term prison sentence,or shot on site.More control over the dynamite in your area.

Answer 4

Other than the fact that small fish are killed even though they are hardly big enough to eat, the corals and the spawning habitat of the fish are destroyed so small fish AND future fish will be gone.

The carrot and stick approach necessitates a stronger ocean patrol presence by the coast guard/navy and/or empowered private citizens apprehending the illegal fishers and/or their supplies, as well as a widespread and dramatic education campaign for fishing communities perhaps enhanced through accounts of first-hand experiences (former illegal fishers).

Answer 5

Fisheries often use extremely destructive methods in order to catch fish. One very common destructive fishing method is by the use of dynamite, often referred to as “blast fishing.” (Caldwell, Fox, 2006). This involves the use of a bomb set to explode under water in a coral reef (World Wildlife Foundation). When the bomb detonates, it kills or stuns the majority of fish within its radius and the dead or stunned fish float to the surface, were they can easily be caught (World Wildlife Foundation). Unfortunately, the illegal practice of blast fishing is commonly used in over 30 countries and has caused major damage and loss of Coral Reef Ecosystems, including over 50% of reefs in Southeast Asia (Caldwell, Fox, 2006) (Eco-Reefs). Blast Fishing is particularity damaging because it shatters the reef structure, therefore, on top of all the fish and coral lost due the initial blast, the damaged ecosystem is reduced to rubble (Caldwell, Fox, 2006). Corals require a solid structure upon which to rebuild themselves, and an environment with constantly shifting rubble and dust does now allow for this, commonly killing coral before they have time to develop and rebuild (Caldwell, Fox, 2006). It takes an estimated 100 – 106 years of recovery for a coral reef system to rebuild itself form the effects of destructive blast fishing (Caldwell, Fox, 2006).

It depends..
