Sea Piracy through Somalia
Somali piracy began in the early 1990s after Somalia's civil war when foreign ships began illegally fishing and dumping toxic waste in Somali waters. Local fishermen formed armed groups to stop these incursions, eventually turning to hijacking commercial vessels for ransom. Somali piracy operated in the Gulf of Aden and off the coast of East Africa. Pirates typically used small attack boats launched from larger "mother ships" to board vessels, often armed with guns, RPGs, and ladders to overcome the crews. At its peak, several hundred ships per year were hijacked for multimillion dollar ransoms delivered by parachute or boat. An international naval coalition works to patrol the region and stop piracy attacks

Cyprus Wrecks and Artificial Reef Program Norwegian Air In-flight magazine
The document discusses Cyprus's program to deliberately sink old ships off its coasts to create artificial reefs and boost the marine environment, tourism, and fishing. The program involves cleaning ships of hazardous materials, sinking them in shallow waters, and monitoring the growth of new ecosystems around the wrecks. Placing the ships underwater has attracted many fish and other marine life, as well as thousands of divers. Officials believe the artificial reefs will replenish fish stocks and attract more tourists as a diving destination, providing economic benefits. Other locations like Malta, Florida, and Portugal have implemented similar projects with success in enhancing marine life.
Somali pirates
Somali piracy has been a persistent issue off the coast of Somalia. Armed Somali pirates monitor ships and launch attacks to hijack them.

Overfishing2
Overfishing is catching too many fish and depleting fish populations. It occurs in three main ways: harvesting fish before maturity, leaving insufficient adults to reproduce, and overfishing predator species which disrupts ecosystems. Global fish catches peaked in 2006 at 144 million tons but over half of fish stocks are now fully or overexploited. Destructive fishing practices like bottom trawling and cyanide fishing damage ocean habitats while bycatch wastes untargeted species. Overfishing led to the complete collapse of Newfoundland cod fisheries in the 1990s. Bluefin tuna faces extinction due to overfishing and uncertain catch quotas.
Conservative fisheries policy
1. The document discusses conservative party policy on fishing in New Zealand, focusing on managing fisheries sustainably for both current and future generations.
2. It argues that wild fish primarily belong to the New Zealand people for recreational use and secondarily to the commercial sector for sustainable use.

overfishing 10-8 2011
The document discusses the issue of overfishing and its negative impacts. It defines overfishing as catching fish faster than populations can replenish. While the world's oceans could theoretically support four planets' worth of fish, many species have become reduced or extinct due to overfishing. The document also examines fishing down the food chain, bycatch, bottom trawling, and how both overfishing and government subsidies of the fishing industry can harm marine ecosystems.
Overfishing by yuliya_miryana_bedros
Overfishing has led to declines in fish populations and damaged ocean ecosystems. Early overfishing in the 1800s depleted whale populations for oil. After WWII, efforts to increase protein availability quadrupled fishing capacity. Today the annual global fish catch exceeds 120 million tons, though overfishing is reducing populations of many species. Destructive fishing methods like bottom trawling damage coral reefs and seafloor habitats. Bycatch and discarded catch also contribute to declining fish and other marine species. No-take zones that prohibit all fishing have helped restore some ecosystems and fish populations.

It discusses the graduation of two former Sea Cadets from the US Naval Academy, recognition of enlisted service members of the year, an upcoming 5K run/walk fundraiser, and guest speakers for the September and November dinner meetings.
Technological evolution in fish catching
Fishing is an ancient practice dating back over 40,000 years involving catching fish from the wild using techniques like netting, angling, and trapping. According to FAO statistics, 38 million people are employed in fisheries and aquaculture, providing food and jobs for over 500 million people. Technological advances like improved boats, navigation devices, synthetic net materials, and fish processing equipment have increased fishing efficiency and catch sizes over time.

Our navy 1980
The Navy began testing the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) in 1980 to help medical providers identify eligible users and prevent fraud. Active duty and retired Navy personnel were initially enrolled in the database. The USS Francis Scott Key became the first Trident I missile-equipped submarine to begin operational patrols, significantly increasing the range of US nuclear deterrent capabilities. Several changes were made to Navy uniforms in 1980, including authorizing jumper-style uniforms for E-5 and below and new styles of shirts, caps, and bags for female sailors.
Fishing gears 10
Fishing gear refers to equipment used to catch fish and includes both active gears like trawls that guide fish into the path and passive gears like nets that fish must swim into. Common fishing methods include using various nets like gill nets, traps, hooks and lines, and trawl nets. Trawl nets are large cone-shaped nets towed along the seabed that can catch bottom, demersal, and pelagic species but also disturb the seabed and result in bycatch. Other fishing methods include using fish screens, fish attraction devices, and electrical fishing.
General knowledge 1

Marine Biomes
Marine biomes cover approximately 75% of the Earth's surface and are distinguished from other biomes by their physical environment. The habitats within marine biomes vary depending on the depth, and include the pelagic realm, intertidal zone, photic zone, aphotic zone, and benthic realm. Marine biomes support a diverse ecosystem, with phytoplankton serving as primary producers and a variety of organisms fulfilling different roles as consumers, predators, and prey. However, human pollution poses a serious threat to marine ecosystems.

Life aboard ships 500 years ago was difficult. Sailors slept and lived on the open deck due to lack of space below deck. They typically ate one hot meal per day of salted meat and fish if they were lucky, as fresh food would spoil. Water also became undrinkable after a few weeks at sea. Scurvy, caused by vitamin deficiency, was a common problem for sailors. Crews were divided into watches that worked for 4 hours then rested, and jobs included manning the sails, pumping water from the ship, and looking out from the crow's nest.

Seahorse turn in
The Pacific seahorse is about 15 centimeters long with a curled tail used to hook onto objects. Males carry and protect the eggs. Their habitats of coral reefs, sea grass, and mangroves are being rapidly damaged, forcing them to adapt. Seahorses now receive protection from organizations working to safeguard the animals and their habitats from threats like pollution, habitat loss, introduced species, and human activities such as trawling and cyanide fishing.
Seahorse turn in
The document describes several key facts about seahorses:
- Male seahorses carry and incubate eggs in a brood pouch, are slimmer and less spiny than females, and have a curled tail to hook onto objects.
- Seahorses live in shallow tropical and temperate waters along coastlines worldwide and feed on tiny crustaceans and fish by rapidly inhaling water.
- Their habitats of coral reefs, sea grass, and mangroves are threatened by damage and lack of protection, forcing seahorses to adapt. Conservation organizations now work to protect seahorses and their habitats from further damage.
