Like so many other fishers, I love to catch w88 casino login. There is something deeply satisfying about catching a w88 casino login and taking it home to feed friends and family. I believe this feeling stems from our evolution. It is only in the last couple of hundred years that we as humans have been able to survive by earning moneyand purchasing food. Before that, we needed good hunter-gatherer instincts.
Hunting and gathering instincts
To ensure we survived as a species, we needed good instincts to kill, but we also needed good instincts to conserve because if all the w88 casino login were taken, all the animals were killed, or the entire crop harvested, there would be no food for tomorrow.
So for those of us that have a passion for fishing, this love of the ocean and it’s inhabitants can, in part, be put down to instinct. Therefore, the people that w88 casino login for the love of it are the guardians of the ocean; recreational fishermen are at the forefront of protecting w88 casino login stocks from commercial over-fishing where w88 casino login are being exploited for commercial gain, with little regard given to sustainability.
Through the show, we can inspire people to get into fishing, and we can also impart tips and advice to existing fishers to help them catch more w88 casino login. At the outset, encouraging more people to w88 casino login and sharing effective fishing techniques seems to go against our conservation ethos, but here’s how it works.
Catch only what you can eat and eat as much of the w88 casino login as possible
The more people that can go out and successfully catch a w88 casino login to take home, the more people have that connection to the marine environment and, therefore, will want it protected. Sure, they will take a few w88 casino login in the process, but catching w88 casino login by hook and line to feed family and friends has been sustainable for thousands of years; it is part of the marine ecosystem. And all the recreational catch combined is just a fraction of the 400,000 tonnes taken commercially in New Zealand every year.
Just enough for a feed
Even so, we encourage fishers to only take what they need; “just enough for a feed” is a catch line. We also encourage the release of the larger breeding w88 casino login and help with fisheries research by tagging and releasing w88 casino login. While the recreational fishing take is comparatively small, it is still significant, and two wrongs do not make a right, so we all need to do our bit.

For a start, we do not preach to them. People enjoy fishing because it is an escape from their busy lives, recreational time is precious, and I’m not likely to get a good response if I stand up and tell people how they should spend their time fishing. So instead, we show people by releasing big w88 casino login, and I explain the importance of these bigger w88 casino login to the reproduction cycle of the species. If you want a trophy (and let’s face it, most of us do), take a photo before letting it go. That way, you have captured that moment in time to savour forever.
By demonstrating how much enjoyment and satisfaction you can get by catching a feed of w88 casino login, releasing a big w88 casino login or tagging and releasing a w88 casino login, viewers will invariably try it themselves. But we still need to ensure that when we take w88 casino login responsibly for food or take the occasional big w88 casino login as a hardearned trophy, we do it unashamedly; after all, killing w88 casino login is as natural as breathing.
