多年来,许多墨水都散发出有关氰化物捕获的鱼的溢出,并且已经为使用网捕获观赏鱼的许多唇部服务。谈话便宜,真正的行动很昂贵,RVS Fishworld一直在领导教育和教育和traintheir own divers to collect aquarium fish the right way.
Talk is cheap, and real action is expensive. And to that end it seems like for the last couple of years RVS Fishworld has had not one, not two, but a nearly bi-monthly schedule of net training programs to teach fisherman how to use nets. This represents a significant financial investment into entire社区沿海渔夫,这是由于多种原因而非常重要的。
First and most obviously, it is directly reducing the numbers of cyanide caught fish, which is good for the hobby, and for the trade. Secondly, it is teaching a whole new generation of Filipinos that coral reefs are valuable, and they can make a living by有选择地收获小型观赏鱼,同时为他们及其家人留下食物。
不太明显的是,训练这些渔夫用网,而不是氰化物收集鱼类,并且是认真的水族馆贸易的一部分,是珊瑚礁总体上最大的保护者之一。Already this form of income is one of the least destructive forms of income for coastal communities, and without it they’d have to resort to something worse, like the Live Food Fish Trade, Shark Finning, Beche de Mer, Dynamite blasting, or any number of extremely damaging fishing practices.
我只想指出,RVS Fishworld超越了不仅仅是给渔民提供一些网,并告诉他们使用它。他们也在教他们为什么它很重要,他们使用金融中间人hing net instead of cyanide. By being trained in big groups it strengthens their community bonds, so it’s not just a few isolated net trained fishermen surrounded by cyanide users, but whole communities that are being transformed.
该项目非常重要,因为尽管它远离西部水族馆市场,但它是业余爱好可以指出的为数不多的举措之一,这些举措是我们捍卫那些说水族馆爱好只是“野生动植物贩运”的一部分的人。在我们为关闭夏威夷珊瑚礁的斗争中暂时胜利的紧随其后,这正是业余爱好需要竞争和促进的计划,因为这些引人入胜的计划应该在世界各地发生,RVS Fishworld应该是获得爱好所能提供的尽可能多的帮助和支持。
