Aquaculture takes centre stage at MONACO BLUE INITIATIVE 2015 6TH EDITIONInternational Aquafeed
The last edition of the Monaco Blue Initiative (MBI) in Chile in 2014 questioned the status and feedback from aquaculture in America, towards a sustainable approach to its development.
Ocean overfishing is simply the taking of wildlife from the sea at rates too high for fished species to replace themselves. The earliest overfishing occurred in the early 1800s when humans, seeking blubber for lamp oil, decimated the whale population. Some fish that we eat, including Atlantic cod and herring and California's sardines, were also harvested to the brink of extinction by the mid-1900s.
China Fishery, one of the leading organizations that promote sustainable fishing. It utilizes state-of-art technology in fishing that helps in exploiting ocean resources in such a manner that satisfy the needs of the customers presently and also saves for the future generations. This helps in protecting the seafood resources.

Global Housing Market Analysis and Commentary- September 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Homebuilders are walking a fine line when it comes to new projects as high mortgage rates curb demand.
New residential construction, including single-family homes and multifamily, dropped 11.3% month over month in August to 1.283 million units on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to Census Bureau data released Tuesday. That's down 14.8% compared with a year ago and well below the 1.44 million units economists surveyed by Bloomberg projected.
But authorized residential permits — an indicator of potential future activity — rose 6.9% to 1.543 million permits in August from July. That was still down 2.7% from last August. Single-family permits, though, were up 2% from July to 949,000. Multifamily permits came in at 535,000.
The data reflects two opposing forces builders are trying to balance: the ongoing need for new construction to fill in limited inventory and elevated mortgage rates that are hurting their biggest customer right now, the first-time homebuyer.
"High mortgage rates are clearly taking a toll on builder confidence and consumer demand, as a growing number of buyers are electing to defer a home purchase until long-term rates move lower," Robert Dietz, chief economist of the National Association of Home Builders, said Monday in a press release after builder confidence dropped for the second straight month.

Blog – Manufacturing Shipments and Orders – The United States – August 2023
Summary:
New orders for manufacturing technology in the United States totaled $353.9 million in July 2023, as per the latest report by AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology. This figure marked a 12.4% decline from June 2023 but remained only 10.5% lower than July 2022. Year-to-date orders amounted to $2.83 billion, reflecting a 12.7% decrease compared to the same period the previous year.
Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT, noted that July is typically a slower month for manufacturing technology orders, so a slight drop was expected. However, he pointed out a notable trend: over the last two months, the year-to-date order gap has narrowed during historically slow periods. While job shops have seen decreased orders, other industries that benefited from reshoring or government investments have helped fill the gap.
Among specific sectors, job shops, the largest customer segment, placed their lowest total monthly orders since August 2020. In contrast, metal valve manufacturers recorded their third-highest monthly order value on record, last seen in September 2018, making up nearly 5% of the total manufacturing technology order value for July 2023. Manufacturers of motor vehicle transmissions continued to order machinery at an elevated pace. However, the aerospace industry continued to order below its early 2022 peaks, with hopes that recent projects like the federal government's $1.5 billion investment in communications satellites might reverse this trend.

Stocks fell Friday as investors wrap up a volatile week ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting.
The Dow Jones Industrials tumbled 288.87 points to close out Friday and the week at 34,618.24. At its lows, it completely wiped out Thursday's 332-point rally.
The S&P 500 index sank 54.78 points, or 1.2%, to 4,450.32.
The NASDAQ index plunged 217.72 points, or 1.6%, to 13,708.33.
The Dow held onto a winning week. The S&P 500 and NASDAQ both closed out the week with losses.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector in the S&P 500, down nearly 2%. Adobe shares fell more than 4% even after the software firm posted better-than-expected quarterly results. Shares of Arm Holdings were lower one day after its successful public debut.
Auto stocks General Motors and Stellantis N.V. were higher Friday, while Ford Motor was about flat. Thousands of members of the United Auto Workers went on strike after failing to reach a deal with the automakers Thursday night.

Electricity Analysis - Canada and the OECD - June 2023.pptxpaul young cpa, cga
Summary:
Over three-quarters of the world’s total coal-generated electricity is consumed in just three countries. China is the top user of coal, making up 53.3% of global coal demand, followed by India at 13.6%, and the U.S. at 8.9%.
Burning coal—for electricity, as well as metallurgy and cement production—is the world’s single largest source of CO2 emissions. Nevertheless, its use in electricity generation has actually grown 91.2% since 1997, the year when the first global climate agreement was signed in Kyoto, Japan.
However, even as non-renewables enjoy their time in the sun, their days could be numbered.
In 2022, renewables, such as wind, solar, and geothermal, represented 14.4% of total electricity generation with an extraordinary annual growth rate of 14.7%, driven by big gains in solar and wind. Non-renewables, by contrast, only managed an anemic 0.4%.
The authors of the Statistical Review do not include hydroelectric in their renewable calculations, even though many others, including the International Energy Agency, consider it a “well-established renewable power technology.”
With hydroelectric moved into the renewable column, together they accounted for over 29.3% of all electricity generated in 2022, with an annual growth rate of 7.4%.

Global (Mining Oil and Gas Forestry and Agriculture) Analysis and Commentary ...paul young cpa, cga
The mining, oil, gas, agriculture, forestry, and mining continue to face environmental, social, and governance policy review including reporting of key metrics as part of ESG reporting cycle.
There is more focus on profitability and investment returns as part of the integrated planning and reporting cycle.
Summary:
The global economy faces what at least one forecaster is calling a mild trade recession as shipments from China slump and German factories downshift.
China’s export declines extended into August, though there were signs that the worst of a world trade slowdown may be over for the leading exporter.
Overseas shipments from China fell 8.8% in dollar terms from a year earlier while imports contracted 7.3%, both better than economists’ estimates and significantly less severe than July’s downturn.
Other data have suggested trade may be stabilizing after weakening for most of this year. Exports from South Korea also declined at a more moderate pace in August than the previous month.

what is the future of Pi Network currency.DOT TECH
The future of the Pi cryptocurrency is uncertain, and its success will depend on several factors. Pi is a relatively new cryptocurrency that aims to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide audience. Here are a few key considerations for its future:
Message: @Pi_vendor_247 on telegram if u want to sell PI COINS.
1. Mainnet Launch: As of my last knowledge update in January 2022, Pi was still in the testnet phase. Its success will depend on a successful transition to a mainnet, where actual transactions can take place.
2. User Adoption: Pi's success will be closely tied to user adoption. The more users who join the network and actively participate, the stronger the ecosystem can become.
3. Utility and Use Cases: For a cryptocurrency to thrive, it must offer utility and practical use cases. The Pi team has talked about various applications, including peer-to-peer transactions, smart contracts, and more. The development and implementation of these features will be essential.
4. Regulatory Environment: The regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies is evolving globally. How Pi navigates and complies with regulations in various jurisdictions will significantly impact its future.
5. Technology Development: The Pi network must continue to develop and improve its technology, security, and scalability to compete with established cryptocurrencies.
6. Community Engagement: The Pi community plays a critical role in its future. Engaged users can help build trust and grow the network.
7. Monetization and Sustainability: The Pi team's monetization strategy, such as fees, partnerships, or other revenue sources, will affect its long-term sustainability.
It's essential to approach Pi or any new cryptocurrency with caution and conduct due diligence. Cryptocurrency investments involve risks, and potential rewards can be uncertain. The success and future of Pi will depend on the collective efforts of its team, community, and the broader cryptocurrency market dynamics. It's advisable to stay updated on Pi's development and follow any updates from the official Pi Network website or announcements from the team.
US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.

how can I sell pi coins after successfully completing KYCDOT TECH
Pi coins is not launched yet in any exchange 💱 this means it's not swappable, the current pi displaying on coin market cap is the iou version of pi. And you can learn all about that on my previous post.
RIGHT NOW THE ONLY WAY you can sell pi coins is through verified pi merchants. A pi merchant is someone who buys pi coins and resell them to exchanges and crypto whales. Looking forward to hold massive quantities of pi coins before the mainnet launch.
This is because pi network is not doing any pre-sale or ico offerings, the only way to get my coins is from buying from miners. So a merchant facilitates the transactions between the miners and these exchanges holding pi.
I and my friends has sold more than 6000 pi coins successfully with this method. I will be happy to share the contact of my personal pi merchant. The one i trade with, if you have your own merchant you can trade with them. For those who are new.

how to sell pi coins at high rate quickly.DOT TECH
Where can I sell my pi coins at a high rate.
Pi is not launched yet on any exchange. But one can easily sell his or her pi coins to investors who want to hold pi till mainnet launch.
This means crypto whales want to hold pi. And you can get a good rate for selling pi to them. I will leave the telegram contact of my personal pi vendor below.
A vendor is someone who buys from a miner and resell it to a holder or crypto whale.
Here is the telegram contact of my vendor:

7. WHAT IS FISH FARMING
• Fish farming or pisciculture
involves raising fish commercially
in tanks or enclosures, usually for
food. It is the principal form of
aquaculture, while other methods
may fall under mariculture. ...
Worldwide, the most important
fish species used in fish farming
are carp, tilapia, salmon, and
catfish.
9. CANADA / SEAFOOD
• http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/canada-showcase-its-strong-fish-seafood-industry-seafood-expo-north-america-2017-2203795.htm
• Canada's 2016 fish and seafood export values show that trade in this sector continues to grow. Canada
exported a record $6.6 billion worth of fish and seafood products in 2016, up 10 per cent from 2015. The
United States remains our largest export market, accounting for 65 per cent of our exports worth $4.3
billion. Canada is the largest supplier of fish and seafood to the United States, emphasizing the importance
of this trading partnership.
• Minister LeBlanc will take advantage of the presence of many fisheries associations and environmental non-
government organizations to hold a roundtable discussion on Canada's plan to achieve its marine
conservation targets by protecting 5 per cent of marine and coastal areas by 2017 and 10 per cent by 2020.
Marine protected areas support increased size, abundance and diversity of marine species, protect
spawning stocks and protect habitat critical to lifecycle stages which can help replenish fish stocks-all of
which can benefit Canada's fish and shellfish sector. Fisheries and Oceans Canada will continue to meet with
provinces and territories, Indigenous groups, the fishing industry, and other interested parties to discuss
their important role in conserving marine biodiversity and safeguarding the health of our oceans for future
generations.
10. TECHNOLOGY AND FISH FAMING
• https://www.aquaculture.world/iot-protects-fishing-fleets-and-global-fisheries-with-rpma-technology/
Over half of the world’s seafood is exported from developing countries. Much of
the catch is from small fishing boats, which are difficult to monitor and protect.
Commercial fishing in developing regions typically occurs within 30 miles from
land. Establishing a communication channel that can support hundreds of fishing
boats spread out over a large area is a challenge. Boats are small and lack
dependable power. Devices have to be both affordable and rugged.
Small boats spread out over a large remote area represent a challenge for
network designers. How many towers are needed and where should they be
located to offer enough usable capacity. Capacity is the number of devices that
can simultaneously be supported per tower or base-station.
The Orolia McMurdo Omnicom Solar Fishing Beacon uses Random Phase
Multiple Access (RPMA) technology. It is optimized for wireless machine-to-
machine communication. It is very spectrally efficient and moves a lot of data
per Hz of bandwidth. The low-power, wide-area (LPWA) connectivity is
provided by the Machine Network based on Ingenu’s RPMA technology.
11. IBM AND FISH FARMING
• http://www.globalfuturist.org/2017/03/ibm-and-hyperledger-launch-enterprise-ready-blockchain/
IBM first introduced the concept of BaaS last year but now it believes that its new
service is ready for prime time, and it’s hoping that it’s going to go down a storm with
developers who are busy building blockchain applications that audit, monitor,
support and track everything from the entire US military, all the way through to tuna
and pigs, Universal Basic Income (UBI) programs and foreign exchange trading.

• Before 2012, the Fisheries Act banned all activities that harmed fish habitat.
• That year, Stephen Harper's Conservative government introduced omnibus legislation that prohibited activities that affected fish in commercial,
recreational or Indigenous fisheries.
1. Liberals are reversing this approach to promote fish farming
2. Did the Liberals even consult the provinces?
3. Harper never gutted the water ways, but wanted more protection of the habitat - http://business.financialpost.com/opinion/no-the-harper-

7. Liberals have been in power for over two years as such have done little to improve existing laws on water -
http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wwf-canada-watershed-rivers-freshwater-1.4154120. Liberals constantly called out the CPC for their lack of
focus on water protection, right?

• Ocean Farm 1 is the world’s first deep-sea aquaculture farm. It is designed by leading salmon
farmer SalMar ASA (of Norway). They paid China Shipbuilding Industry $300 million for six
facilities.
• The production unit will be around 70 meters high and will have a diameter of around 160 meters.
the production unit will be able to produce 12,000 tons of fish each year. The production system can
withstand 100 foot (31 meter) waves. The systems can be put anywhere in the open sea. The new
system will be able to grow 3 million salmon each year. The production ocean fish farm will cost 157
million euros.

sustainable-tuna-fishery-1.23912561 “Tompkins said 99 per cent of bluefin tuna is sold for sushi. In Canada,
yellowfin tuna and bigeye tuna caught off Nova Scotia and Newfoundland can be of sushi grade, but they are
often canned. The OneTuna plant in North Lake, P.E.I., was completed in May and obtained its CFIA
certification in June. The plant still has to compete with international buyers, and so far it has processed
three bluefins, which typically weigh more than 200 kilograms and can grow to 725 kilograms.”
