[00:02.09]What causes the pollution?
[00:04.18]All sorts, chemicals, plastic, rubbish,oil.
[00:08.11]Most of them comes from industrial
[00:09.85]and agricultural¹ waste.
[00:11.80]It sounds like a big problem.
[00:13.43]Yes, it is a big problem.
[00:15.19]How these two problems been handle?
[00:18.01]Well, some government departments are trying
[00:20.14]to deal with the situation.
[00:21.77]Are they?
[00:22.58]Yes, some look for ways to reduce pollution,
[00:25.87]some keep a record of levels of pollution,
[00:28.61]other departments are responsible² for finding³,
[00:31.11]you know, where it comes from
[00:33.05]and punishing people who have broken the law
[00:35.16]by causing pollution.
[00:36.71]Of course, often it's quite difficult to find
[00:39.31]who's responsible for pollution.
[00:41.21]Yes, I suppose it must be.
[00:43.59]What about over-fishing?
[00:45.72]What can be done about that?
[00:47.66]Well, the government tries to control
[00:49.68]the number of fish that people can catch.
[00:52.63]In the worst areas they ban fishing completely⁴
[00:55.63]for a few months at a time so that the fish
[00:58.03]numbers can grow again.
[00:59.88]They also try to help people to get other kinds
[01:02.59]of jobs so there are less people
[01:04.75]trying to make a living from fishing.
[01:06.48]That's good idea.
[01:07.76]Let's hope it works⁵!
[01:09.12]
