From the Paper:

"Solutions are mentioned in the video, such as, engaging in selective fishing methods which in turn will promote more jobs, fish, and revenue. This is one of the things that need to be done, but not enough solutions are mentioned in the video. A few good examples of these solutions are currently being met in the states. To decrease the rate at which the salmon population is falling, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service yearly deposits billions of young salmon and eggs into natural breeding grounds."
