Read the following quote from a 1914 government report: "while the facts before us show no proof or presumption of any depletion of the fisheries on the banks frequented by american otter trawlers, it is possible that the seeds of damage already have been sown and their fruits may appear in the future or that the development of a wholly unregulated fishery eventually may result in injury where none now exists". (1914 report of the u. s. commissioner of fisheries) what do you think the report was predicting the future of fishing may be in jeopardy if it continues unregulated the fishermen have depleted their resources and must wait for them to replenish u. s government should remain uninvolved and allow the fishermen to continue their work the fishing industry should join with farming to plant seeds and snow fruit
