This is just two actions that i know that have been in effect to stop Canada's Cruel Seal Hunt

1. Parts of Europe have banned Canada's seafood and seal furs products

2. Some U.S. states and Canadian citizens have boycotted Canada's Seafood Industries

If you know some others please respond, so i can add them to the list.

I was asked what as the DFO and this is what i found out about that organization. DFO what does it stand for? It stands for the Departmart of Fisheries and Oceans. The DFO basicly helps regulate Canada's Waters.

Vision
Excellence in service to Canadians to ensure the sustainable development and safe use of Canadian waters.

Mission
It is our mission, as DFO employees, to deliver to Canadians the following outcomes:

Safe and Accessible Waterways;
Healthy and Productive Aquatic Ecosystems; and
Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture.
In working toward these outcomes, the Department will be guided by the principles of sound scientific knowledge and effective management.

Mandate
On behalf of the Government of Canada, DFO is responsible for developing and implementing policies and programs in support of Canada’s scientific, ecological, social and economic interests in oceans and fresh waters.

DFO is a national and international leader in marine safety and in the management of oceans and freshwater resources. Departmental activities and presence on Canadian waters help to ensure the safe movement of people and goods. As a sustainable development department, DFO will integrate environment, economic and social perspectives to ensure Canada’s oceans and freshwater resources benefit this generation and those to come.

The Department’s guiding legislation includes the Oceans Act, which charges the Minister with leading oceans management and providing coast guard and hydrographic services on behalf of the Government of Canada, and the Fisheries Act, which confers responsibility to the Minister for the management of fisheries, habitat and aquaculture. The Department is also one of the three responsible authorities under the Species at Risk Act.

In real terms, what do they do?

Save lives.
Work with security forces to ensure the safe and secure use of Canada’s waterways.
Help with ship-to-shore communication, navigation, and clear passageways for safe water travel.
Study, conserve and protect aquatic ecosystems.
Conduct scientific research and related activities, which are vital to the understanding and sustainable management of Canada’s oceans and aquatic resources.
Work in collaboration to manage the commercial, recreational and Aboriginal fisheries.
Provide services to fishermen such as issuing licences.
Create the conditions to support a vibrant and sustainable aquaculture industry.
Maintain a network of harbours.
Ensure compliance with environmental standards and regulations in support of economic development and other activities.
Provide high-quality hydrographic data, products and services.
Respond to ship-sourced oil spills
Develop and promote the wise use of technology to ensure the long-term health of Canada’s waters.

Did you know that global warming can cause many different problems? Did you know that some animals are close to extinction because of global warming. Global warming can cause different problems, mostly the problems can relate to global warming, without global warming, the world will have less problems, don't you think so?

Question:
What is your reaction to my statement?

This week, I've learned that donation to global warming research is useless. We are humans, the researchers are human, too! They won't be some other cretures that careless, they can do research themselves, they don't need money to eat, so there is no reason for us to donate some money to this reaseaches. If you have any concern about My Progress Throughout This Week's Opinon (2), please feel free and talk with me about it. Thank you, folks.

Some of the global warming researchers had brought their attention on the consumers for global warming. The researchers said that the consumers had given lots of thoughts and commons helping the researchers to have a better knowledge on global warming. They had even did some charts regarding global warming, if you have seen or know anything about this, please respond my blog ASAP. Try to include some information that I do not not know and try to give some feedback to my blogs, thanks.

Sometimes temperature rises, and carbon dioxide rise with the temperature, they must have some connections with each other, don't you think so?

1. Yes, temperature has a connection with carbon dioxide.
2. No, temperature has no connnection with carbon dioxide.
3. Not sure, I do not know.

Have you notice that the sea level has rised in the these days? Has Antarctica been smaller than before, I think some of Antarctica had melted because of global warming, right?

1. Yes
2. No
3. Not sure

In 1992 Newfoundland and Labrador, the cod stocks collapsed, the Canadian governmeant then realized that they had to close the fisheries causing over 40,000 people to lose their jobs. Communities struggled to recover from this state of shock.The Canadian government had been warned by scientists and environmentalists that the cod stocks were overfished and overexploited before this catastrophe had gone any further. This is a great example of outcomes when overfishing occurs. The future is still unclear for the cod stocks, but this catastrophe has become a warning bell to other countries that practice this overfishing.

Help Save the Seals! Every year the Candian seal hunt is taking place in the north were its the largest slaughter of marine mammals on Earth. Every year there are about 250 000+ seals killed by hunters for their pelts. These mammals are killed very in humanly, most being skined while still conscious. Many killed are younglings called white coats because of their white furs, as they get older their fur sheds and turns darker. After the seals are skinned, hunters usually leave the carasses on the ice or dump them in the sea. The oraganization that control the total number of allowed seal deaths is called the DFO, they were responsible for the cod fish collapse as well in Canada. If this continues further more the seals will be in a state of risk of extinction.

We have our mouth to speak, our ears to hear, so why don't we help using our thoughts to protect this world? Us, as humans should protect the world with our hand, not only this, waste less and save the energy is another way to help and protect. Some of us does not really care about the situation right now, but in the future, this situation will get big and afffect all of us. Help now and tell me everything that you know that could help!

This week's progress: I've gotten lots of response over the week, thank you if you were in this responding group. One thing I have to point it out, a Vanuatu concern citizen was helping me putting this world to the original spot. He said" Coming from a country of where the effects of climate is worsening and continuously affecting us, I strongly think this is a very important note to not just us pacific island countries but for the whole wide world. This is not a 1 man problem....this will affect our communities and societies in the near future if we are not really careful of how we behave and react towards our environment especially the effects of Climate change." - Vanuatu concern citizen
This person said the climate change isn't only for a 1 man job, maybe this is our job to complete. Just write your thoughts and respond to my questions, thank you very much.

In the future, what effects might global warming have on world?

1. The sun will melt the ice on the Greenland and rise the water level to cause some dramatic effects thoughtout the world.

2. Global warming will cause some animals to extinct.

3. Global warming will increase some new diseases to the earth.

(Remember, choose the opitons that has the same thought as you).

Don't you find some garbages around your house every day? Don't you see some people litering every day? Shouldn't you do something to avoid it?

1. Pick up the garbages and tell the people to stop litering.

2. Leave the garbages until the afternoon and tell the people to stop litering.

3. Call the cartaker to pick up the garbages and ugnore the people litering.

4. Never bother the situation.

Global warming affect thoughout the earth, especially the areas around the equator, or maybe even your hometown. What is your action to this problem, please suggest an answer.

Humans and enginers clear land for mines or dams. Some of those land is part of a forest.
Deforestation affect the life cycle of humans. Do you know why? There are some people who live on farmland with livestock. Such as cows and chickens.

Do you know that acid rain plays a big part on deforestation? Acid rain often occur in rainforests.
Do you agree?
