Investigate
technological developments, e.g., canneries, sonar and satellite
navigation systems, longlines, and industrial trawlers, relevant to
fishing. Prepare a report on the ways in which they have impacted and
transformed the fishing industry.
Interview
a fisher about changes that have occurred in his/her work and relationship
to the resource. Write an article about this person and submit it to a
local magazine or newspaper.
Develop
and present a slide program that details what you think the future
of fishing in Oregon will be as the state continues to move toward an
economy that is less resource-based. Provide support for your position(s).
Compare
the story of fishing in Oregon to the story of fishing throughout the
world.
Learn
about the developmental fisheries program of the Oregon Department of
Fish and Wildlife, which aims to diversify the fishing industry. Explore
in detail the development of a recent fishery, e.g., that turning "trash
hake" into "quality whiting", and the implications of that fishery for
Oregon fishers and the ocean ecosystem.
