Carp at Lake Gaston
These are carp swarming to food pellets right off of a dock at Lake Gaston in North Carolina. This demonstrates the United Nation's sustainable development goal number 14, life below water. We as humans must protect the resources that live in lakes, rivers, and oceans throughout the world. There was a dispenser on the dock where you can put a quarter in the machine and it dispenses a handful of grain pellets for the fish. The fish are accustomed to going to this dock everyday, even if there aren't people there. This can be examined many different ways. For one, the fish may become dependent and never search for food on their own and this could be detrimental for their survival and individual fitness. Or, it can be seen as the fish always having a sustainable food source and humans would then be supporting one aspect of life below water. The bigger picture to be analyzed is the actions that we as humans have on water dwelling organisms and whether or not we are working in the right direction to supporting their ecosystems.
