Question

1. which of the following can help combat overfishing?

a. implementing fishing quotas
b. increasing catch limits
c. expanding fishing areas
d. ignoring local fish populations

Explanation:

To combat overfishing, we need measures that restrict excessive fishing. Option a (Implementing fishing quotas) sets limits on how much fish can be caught, which helps preserve fish populations. Option b (Increasing catch limits) would worsen overfishing. Option c (Expanding fishing areas) might lead to more overfishing in new areas. Option d (Ignoring local fish populations) disregards the need to protect them, so it doesn't help.

Answer:

a. Implementing fishing quotas
