Question

Transcribed Image Text:At first glance, the research reported in the Washington Post article Why We've Been Hugely Underestimating the Overfishing
of the Oceans may appear to be only bad news for the world's stock of fish. However, researchers believe that their discovery
of how much overfishing has been underestimated could also be good news. Determine whether each statement should be
considered good news or bad news based on the information in the article.
Show Transcribed Text
Good news
Fisheries may be able to feed more people than previously thought.
Answer Bank
Policy made using FAO data could be poorly made because FAO data does not match reality.
Severe declines in catches since the 1990s may be due to unsustainable fishing.
Declines in catches have been even greater than FAO data suggests.
Sustainable food production may be more at risk than scientists thought due to the fishing industry catching far more fish than previously believed.
Bad news
When catches peaked, fisheries were actually much more productive than previously thought.
