           Lots of degradation and a lot of suspended soils

3. I think that aquaculture is a good thing in moderation. If society catches a significant lower amount of fish, it would help preserve many species of fish, and not cause them to go extinct. It provides many jobs for people, and will continue to do so. It also provides a steady supply of food to the people. It is possible to fix the problems that are associated with aquaculture today. There are a few things wrong with aquaculture, but as long as the people running them don't cause the fish to go extinct and watch out for how much pollution they cause, fish will still be plentiful.
