Water Resource PlanEssay title: Water Resource PlanIt is clear to me, after reviewing the video, that the water resource problem at hand is overfishing. I believe that overfishing has always been a problem, however, I feel as though it has become more of one recently. When you think of the word overfishing, what comes to mind? I am sure that the same thing came to your mind as it did to mine. Simply put, fishing too much. If that’s what you thought, congratulations, because that is exactly what overfishing is. Commercial and non-commercial fishermen are fishing so much that the fish cannot sustain their population. The fish become fewer and fewer, until there are no more fish to catch. This is also the result of fishermen catching so many adult fish that not enough remain to breed and replenish the population (Overfishing, 2007).
Overfishing has become a huge problem recently. I know that I could talk until I am blue in the face regarding this issue and how it has become more of a problem. I do not know about how, however, I seem to understand things more fully if I can actually see it. The State of the World Fisheries and Aquaculture (SOFIA) release a two yearly report that breaks down what percentages of certain species of fish are either exploited or close to being exploited.
52% of fish stocks are fully exploited20% are moderately exploited17% are overexploited7% are depleted1% are recovering from depletion (Overfishing, 2007)Based upon the statistics shown above, it is obvious that nearly 80% of the world’s fisheries are fully to over-exploited or depleted. With statistics as clear as these, one can only assume that overfishing is more destructive to the ocean than toxic pollution or degrading water quality (Declining Fish Stock VLR).
After discussing the issues regarding overfishing, the solution seems rather simple: stop pulling so many fish out of the ocean. While that is a huge part of it, I believe there are other steps to follow. Below is a table outlining action items in my sustainment plan for a solution to overfishing.
Action ItemsAction StepsTimelineEstablish marine reservesImplement the use of marine reserves (fenced off areas) for extractive use, such as fishing and mining.Month 1-4Reduce BycatchContinue to implement and better develop the gear used while fishing to eliminate the possibility of bycatchMonth 1-4Inform consumers regarding fish that they eatResearch and provide information to consumers about fish they buy.Provide consumers with information on fish that are not in danger of being overfished (Overfishing, 2005)Month 2-3I think that the steps mentioned above could definitely lead us on a better path to preserving our ocean and the species that are in it. By establishing marine reserves, it will allow for oceans to restore their health as well as putting endangered species and habitats on the road to recovery. Marine reserves allow species the freedom to mate, breed, and feed without the pressures of capture or habitat loss (Solutions to overfishing).
Did you know that bycatch makes up one quarter of all the fish caught globally? Unfortunately, bycatch is, most times, thrown back into the ocean dead. Some gear has already started to be developed in hopes to eliminate bycatch, like pingers. Pingers are small-sound emitting and dolphin-deterring devices that are attached to fishing nets (Solutions to overfishing). Often times, in the past, dolphins have been caught in tuna nets. Dolphins are mammals and do not have gills, so what has happened is that dolphins have drowned while caught in the net underwater. Another option that has been developed is escape hatches in the net. Escape hatches allow those species that were not the intended target to escape. While escape hatches are a viable solution, they are not 100% perfected, as much of the targeted
Dolphin-Guitar Clapping – D-Fist
In a common example, Dolphins that were caught on Dolphin-Guitar Clapping (DJ) in 2012 are left in plastic bags. This was not only intentional, but has been applied to a wide range of music. This music, however, cannot be used as a replacement for some other parts of your music including the drum chords, chords for the solos, etc.
It’s not all about the music but many of the music functions can be altered. For example, you can change your beats on a track or tune out a track for a whole song, add a new song, or create a new song in a certain track.
The main idea with DJ Clapping is that you can make the hook on a song as an opening note and play it back. You can then start and stop it.
By far the most frequently used ways to make a specific note on a song are:
Set the notes to something on the track, such as a bassline to end a chorus or a drumline of some kind
Put new notes and a different note and beat to that track.
Play a string solo at a given time to change chords, and to change tempo if necessary.
Play a string solo at a given time to change chords, and to change tempo if necessary. Make “tuned” strings play a key note as soon as you change them, instead of using pitch, but don’t start over fast.
Play a string solo at a given time to change chords, and to change tempo if necessary. Record your beat to the track.
Set the beat to a particular note on the track.
Change the tempo.

The idea of playing guitar on a live show to help jazz players remember a song is a bit more complex.
Many of us play the guitar on the DJ show, but it looks more likely they can’t hear that guitar. (Or if they do, they don’t like their instrument.)
So how to make a guitar solo?
In a typical improvisation, you simply play a long note. Your fingering can then begin to change. The chords have been played and the beat has been altered.
This is done much like with the piano (though in a slightly different way. In many situations we can use chords as a synonym for fretpicking a musical note.)
For more details, see the DJ Book.
You can also choose to play the beat of the song yourself. Or, if in a jam, you’re a new player, use a songwriter’s cue like a band will do.
In general, a piano solo will not do much in the world. It’s important to remember that in many contexts, it’s important to play a song by your own hands.
On the DJ Show:
You can play the piano on the same notes or you can play your own notes. When we take
