(05.01 MC) Which scenario describes a way that an abiotic factor can impact a marine system? (3 points)

(06.04 HC) As a fishery scientist, you notice that very few cod fish have been caught in the past year. You still see very young and larval cod fish in the water, but very few adults. Explain three actions you would include in a plan for the recovery of the cod fish. Explain how you would need to address the Tragedy of the Commons to encourage those using the resource to use it appropriately. (5 points)
