EOC Goal 2

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission regulates fishing in the state of Florida. This agency sets legal size and catch limits for many different species of fish in Florida. For certain species, recreational and commercial anglers may only keep fish of a certain size, and they may only keep a limited number of fish per day. Anglers who violate these regulations may face fines and other penalties. Which statement correctly explains how size and catch limits make Florida fisheries more sustainable?

• They promote natural selection and ensure that the fittest individuals survive and reproduce in fish populations.

• They prioritize the needs of commercial fishing operations over those of recreational anglers.

• They encourage anglers to fish more often in order to keep fish populations under control.

• They discourage overfishing and maintain populations of reproductively mature fish.

An ecologist is comparing the ecological footprints of two countries. Country A is a wealthy, industrialized country, and Country B is a poor, developing country. Which statement is the most likely finding of the ecologist’s comparison?

• Both countries generate similar amounts of waste, but Country A generates less pollution from energy consumption than Country B.

• Country A uses better pollution control measures than Country B, but the residents of Country A consume far more resources per capita.

• Compared to Country A, Country B has damaged little of its natural habitat per capita to meet its residents’ needs.

• Compared to Country A, Country B is more dependent upon nonrenewable sources of energy and requires a higher per capita consumption of water and forest resources.
