Help the
Atlantic Cod!
Hello, this is IGL and this post is about helping the Atlantic Cod. The Atlantic Cod was once an abundant
species of fish. The Atlantic Cod has a tannish-gold color with yellow fins
that shine in the water. There long, slender body could easily be seen in the
high waters because of their beautiful glinting color. This fish was traded and
sold widely in markets, even the colonial times during the seventeenth century.
The fish was so plentiful the people back then didn’t bother of conserving the Atlantic
cod.
However, the present day has a lack of
Atlantic cods in the world. The Atlantic cod is currently endangered and
scientists believe that they will soon be extinct. Organizations helping this
species of fish agreed to make an Atlantic cod fish watch, which means that
fishermen can make sure they aren’t fishing too much of them. People are
working to keep the Atlantic cod thriving so they will be soon hunted as food
once more, but not too much to endanger them again.
There are many ways to help the
Atlantic cod. You could:
1.
Limit eating so much
Atlantic cod if you already.
2.
Try eating a different
species of fish that is more abundant in the oceans.
3.
Donate to organizations
that help this fish, such as NOAA.
4.
Spread the word about the
Atlantic cod.
5.
Boycott foods with the
Atlantic cod.
6.
Start a petition and get
people to sign it.
