Chapter 45, Problem 9TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The gravitational pull of the Moon and the Sun causes tides. The gravitational force of Sun is stronger than that of Moon but due to its far distance, the effect is weaker. The tidal force of the Moon is larger than the Sun. High tides occur at the equator and low tides at the higher latitudes. The tidal range is the difference between high and low tides, which varies over a 2-week cycle almost.

In the Convention of Biological Diversity (CBD), the precautionary principle read “when there is a threat of significant reduction or loss of biological diversity, lack of full scientific uncertainty should not be used as a reason for postponing measure to minimize or avoid threat”. What is the application of this principle to straddling fish stocks and migratory fishes?
