Fishing
The farming of fish and other aquatic organisms under controlled conditions.
Aquaculture
Part of forest that has large enough trees to be harvested and is close enough to a market to allow it to be harvested by the forest industry.
Commercial Forest
What are minerals that contain metals in their chemical composition and are typically extracted for their commercial values?
Metallic Minerals
Energy that is generated from the movement of water.
Hydroelectric Energy
The number of generations that the actions and decisions we make now should consider, according to the ancient Iroquois belief.
7 Generations
Marine life caught unintentionally and often treated as waste.
Bycatch
This forestry method involves removing every tree and leaving a barren landscape behind.
Clear-Cutting
A surface level mining technique in which a large open pit is created to extract minerals.
Open-Pit Mining
Energy that is generated from the movement of air.
Wind Energy
Natural Resources that can be replenished over time and are not depleted by human use are called?
Renewable Resources
Commercial fishing vessels designed to capture large amounts of fish and equipped with technology that fillets and freezes the fish immediately after they are caught.
Fish factory
Logging technique in which only trees of a certain species, size, or age are cut, leaving all other trees behind.
Selective cutting
Fossil Fuels
Energy that is generated from the earths crust.
Geothermal Energy
This management system ensures natural resources (like forests and fisheries) are used/harvested at a rate that allows them to renew themselves.
Sustained Yield Management
What is the main type of fish caught in the west coast fisheries here in Canada?
Salmon
This forestry method involves clear-cutting only part of an old growth forest and small groups of seed bearing trees are left standing.
Shelterwood Logging
Minerals and metals that are essential for new green and digital technologies, including electric vehicles.
Critical minerals
