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.
