Quiz on Unsustainable Fishing & Farming Practices

What are some of the major threats to our oceans?

• Pollution, invasive species, overfishing, climate change

• Climate change, overfishing, marine protected areas, habitat preservation

• Climate change, habitat preservation, sustainable fishing, marine protected areas

• Habitat destruction, marine pollution, ocean acidification, sustainable farming

What is one impact of climate change on oceans?

• Increased sea levels, improved coral health, reduced ocean temperatures, stable marine habitats

• Reduced sea levels, increased marine biodiversity, reduced ocean acidification, stable weather patterns

• Rising sea levels, changing marine ecosystems, ocean acidification, extreme weather events

• Decreased sea levels, reduced marine biodiversity, increased fish populations, coral bleaching

Which fishing method has permanently damaged marine habitats like coral reefs?

• Destructive fishing practices, overfishing, bycatch, ghost fishing

• Commercial trawling, dynamite fishing, bottom trawling, purse seining

• Sustainable aquaculture, artisanal fishing, trolling, longlining

• Line fishing, sustainable fishing, commercial trawling, recreational fishing

What is the main commercial fish species in South Africa?

Which sector was identified as having medium vulnerability to climate change in South African fisheries?

• Hake, abalone, tuna

• Line fish, small pelagic fisheries, marine aquaculture

• West Coast rock lobster, squid, marine aquaculture

• Sardine, anchovy, prawns

What is the purpose of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs)?

• To provide healthy habitats for fish, allow depleted fish populations to recover, restrict fishing practices, protect marine ecosystems

• To limit sustainable fishing, encourage pollution, damage marine habitats, reduce marine biodiversity

• To promote commercial fishing, protect endangered species, restrict recreational fishing, prevent habitat destruction

• To encourage overfishing, support invasive species, promote climate change, allow unrestricted fishing

Which fish species in South Africa drastically decreased due to unsustainable fishing?

• Sardine, anchovy, Cape hake

• Hake, tuna, shark

• Tuna, prawns, rock lobsters

• Rock lobsters, abalone, squid

What is the most important export species in South African fisheries?

• Hake, abalone, rock lobsters

• Hake, tuna, shark

• Rock lobsters, abalone, squid

• Sardine, anchovy, Cape hake

What is one impact of overfishing on marine ecosystems?

• Protected marine ecosystems, reduced pollution, stable climate, improved fishing practices

• Enhanced marine biodiversity, healthy habitats, sustainable fishing, increased bycatch

• Damaged marine habitats, reduced fish populations, altered ecosystems, threatened species

• Increased fish populations, improved biodiversity, stable habitats, reduced bycatch

What is the main focus of SASSI (Stop Unsustainable Fishing & Farming Practices)?

• Stop unsustainable fishing and farming practices, raise awareness about marine conservation, encourage sustainable seafood consumption, protect ocean resources

• Promote unsustainable fishing, support overfishing, encourage habitat destruction, allow pollution

• Advocate for sustainable fishing, protect marine ecosystems, prevent overfishing, promote climate change

• Ignore environmental threats, exploit marine resources, damage marine habitats, disregard climate change
