3. Temporal and Functional Challenges

But here in the present conditions one has to understand that many migrated fishermen have understood that a lot of fish available here and they started migrating to these places and they had adopted different various advanced fishing techniques.

This chunk discusses how fishermen from different areas, seeking better opportunities, have moved to new places because of the abundance of fish. They brought with them advanced fishing techniques that differ from traditional methods. Such changes can lead to environmental issues while also altering the local economic landscape.

Imagine a group of tourists discovering a new popular fishing spot. They bring high-tech fishing gear that catches many fish quickly. However, this creates an issue where local fishermen—who traditionally used simpler, sustainable methods—can no longer catch enough fish because the newcomers have taken most of them.

And they are not necessarily environmentally friendly, but they might have used a dynamite, the fine nets that catch even a very small fish fry, and the pounding of the coral reefs to drive fish into the nets, all created problems of overfishing and the destruction of the environment when the fish live where the fish live and multiply.

Here, the text highlights the use of harmful fishing techniques by the migrant fishermen, such as using dynamite and fine nets that indiscriminately catch young fish. These practices contribute to overfishing and damage the coral reefs, which are essential ecosystems for marine life. The destruction of reefs can lead to a collapse of local fish populations and a long-term impact on both biodiversity and fishermen’s livelihoods.

It's like using a vacuum cleaner to clean up a garden. While you might gather up a lot of leaves quickly, you're also destroying the plants and soil underneath, leading to a barren garden in the future. Similarly, the aggressive fishing methods used might yield immediate results, but at a significant cost to the marine ecosystem.

So that each, and every net have a different proportion on how what kind of fish it catches and it can hold. But now they are not leaving any more fish, so that is actually bringing a lot of environmental concerns especially with these migrant fishermen, and because when they are coming in different place they are not tied to this place they are not their attachments are never tied to a particular place.

In this segment, it is pointed out that the newcomer fishermen, lacking a connection to the local area, are less concerned about sustainable fishing. Their migratory nature means they do not invest in the long-term health of the fishing grounds, leading to a depletion of resources.

Think of a neighborhood with a community garden. If a group of people comes in, uses all the resources but never returns, the original community suffers because they rely on that garden year-round. Likewise, the migratory fishermen use the fish without considering the long-term community or ecological impacts.

With this what you can see that how the coral reefs have been damaged and because of using the Dynamites and poisoned by sodium cyanide which used for bringing in live fish.

The text implies that destructive fishing methods not only impact fish populations but also severely damage coral reefs. The use of explosives and toxic chemicals destroys these vital habitats, leading to a decline in marine biodiversity and affecting the entire food chain.

Imagine blasting a beautiful sculpture to collect its stones. The blasts may yield materials for construction, but you will ultimately lose the sculpture's beauty and integrity, just as blasting coral reefs compromises the marine ecosystem.

So now one can see them, one can witness how it has an impact on the coral reefs you know one certain coral reef has been damaged and obviously it affects the marine system, the marine system is affected when aqua system is affected. It also affects the human systems.

This section emphasizes the interconnectedness of ecosystems. Damage to coral reefs disrupts the marine life that depends on them, and this in turn affects human communities that rely on fish for food and income. The text conveys that environmental changes can create a ripple effect, impacting both marine and human systems.

Picture a small town relying on a lake for fishing and recreation. If the lake becomes polluted, fish die off, locals lose jobs, and the town's economy suffers. This showcases how environmental damage can cascade from one sector of an ecosystem to others.

There is a spatial scale challenges when we talk about the climate change it talks about its very it talks up to much bigger scales, larger scales whereas the disaster it talks about much more to the pointed affected areas.

This chunk addresses the difficulty of addressing climate change due to its broad impacts that can span across multiple regions and countries, while disasters tend to affect specific local areas. This complexity makes it challenging to formulate effective responses to climate change since the causal factors may be located far away from the sites of impact.

Similar to a traffic jam, where the blockage may be caused by an accident miles away—it’s hard to fix the problem when the cause exists out of sight. For climate change, the root causes and the impacts are often geographically separated.

So there is also a mismatch between the horizontal scales and vertical scales where the sources of climate change often lie in other regions and countries then where it is affects are shown.

The text highlights that the causes of climate change may originate from distant places, creating a mismatch between the local effects and their global sources. For effective solutions, there needs to be alignment between where issues arise and where they impact.

Consider a factory producing pollution that affects a city thousands of miles away. The city suffers from smog and health issues, but the factory owner might not even be aware of their impact. Similarly, climate change sources can affect local communities without their knowledge.

Also, the temporal and functional challenges; when we talk about the temporal and functional challenges, it is also about the role of different agencies whether it is an NGO or a government sector or quasi-government which whoever are coming so especially the NGOs who are coming the agencies to do the disaster recovery projects.

This segment discusses how various agencies, including NGOs and government bodies, often have limited time commitments for disaster recovery projects. This short-term focus can lead to problems in long-term sustainability and community adaptation. When these organizations leave after completing their projects, the communities are left to fend for themselves without continued support.

Think about hiring a temporary contractor to renovate a building. They might do a good job finishing the work, but if they leave afterward without maintenance plans, the building will start to deteriorate again, similar to how short-term aid affects community resilience.
