Why can't we fish in the Puget Sound

Don’t fish in the Puget Sound

By Beloria Levy

Why can’t we fish in the Puget Sound? We do not fish some fish from the Puget Sound because they might be poisoned.

When you go to the Puget Sound and you are about to put your rod in the water you suddenly see a sign that says “No fishing in the Puget Sound” do you ever wonder why? I wonder why and I found over fishing could destroy the food chain, crash the fish population, and if you ate a toxic fish you can get sick.

Some things that touch fish are bad for them and their habitat. Some examples are oil spills, plastic, poisons, garbage and the food that they eat might be contaminated. Fish habitats has been degraded by human activities global warming construction activities log storage, oil spills and decreases in water quality. Eelgrass and kelp beds essential herring habitat maybe damaged from chemical pollution.

Don’t tell people to fish in the Puget Sound. Help stop people stop fishing in the Puget Sound. What would happen if people didn’t fish in the Puget sound the world would be so much better right?

 We do not fish some fish from the Puget Sound because they might be poisoned. For the past hundred years people have been putting plastic bags and thing like that in the “Puget Sound”. The animals and plants have been dying because of that. I think one fact you can’t fish in the Puget Sound is because if you get a sick or poisoned one you might not want to catch that.
