CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

The main objective of carrying out this research is to identify the development and sustainability of Hasting fishing industry. This research has been organized in successive five chapters and reveals the overall contribution of environmental sciences, while recommending ways to further enhance the topic under consideration.

1.2 Background of the Research

There is a growing concern for the global community about the status of fish stocks, marine habitats and marine biodiversity. This concern pertains to the lack of focus on issue of overfishing. This fear is understandable, given the importance of oceans and the global community. In fact, the living resources of the oceans are the largest sources of food for mankind, as they provide livelihoods for millions of people in coastal communities and even entire nations. Furthermore, they are crucial for biodiversity in the world. For this reason, “it is vital that these funds shall be retained and used for sustainably for present and future. Poor approach toward over-fishing is due to ineffective fisheries management” (Russell, 2010, Pp. 60-70). The management needs to address the essential conditions for sustainable fishing. However, this is not the sole requirement. Over-fishing is as much an economic problem as the fault of ...
