1. Fish Demand Fish Supply One billion people rely on fish as it contributes an estimated 50 percent the protein they need. As the world population grows, so will the fish protein’s demand. The global protein demand grew by 16.5 million tons between 2006 and 2011. The fish protein demand is expected to rise by 20% by 2030. This disparity is likely to get worse as the world's population without correct intervention. Source: www.bloomberg.org Time for Action Protect this essential food supply for out next generations. We can make industrial and local fishing be more sustainable by implementing reforms Solutions Enforce sustainable fishing limits. This helps ensure there will be enough fish left to repopulate. Create protected areas that helps fish reproduce unharmed from all fishing means. 100% observer coverage and proper monitoring. By controlling the type and number of vessels, we can further prevent the depletion of fish populations.

2. What is Echolocation? Echolocation, also known as bio sonar, is the biological sonar used by animals to locate and identify objects. It is the production and utilizing of sound waves for communication. How Does it Work? In deep ocean where light cannot penetrate, navigation is made easy using ultra-high frequency sounds called “pings”. Pings, or echoes, must be loud enough for it to bounce back to the sender and short enough so that the ping returns before the next wave is sent out. The shape of the returning echo creates a 3D image and determines how the sender “see” its surroundings. http://www2.hawaii.edu/~zinner/101/students/YvetteEcholocation/echolocation.html http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/149851#.VGGSmfnF-Sp https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090527084822AAjXRuY http://huangcrystal.com/image/Visual-Explanation_Dolphin-01.gif Dolphins send out sound waves that sound like a click and bounces back when hits an object.
