　　I’m Aimswell, a boy, and I live on the island of Tobago in the West Indies .Like many people here ,my father is a fisherman and he taught me to fish when I was about five .I love it and have even won some prizes in fishing competitions .Local people here fish for themselves and some of them even supply fish to big hotels. Recently everyone has started to notice that there are not as many fish in the sea as they used to be and the fish that we are catching now are really small,still young. If everyone keeps catching all the fish when they are so young. we may soon run out.

　　I am working on a program at my school to find a way for people in Tobago to be able to continue eating fish without make the ones in the sea rare. My teacher, Mr. Peters, started it a little while ago. The project is teaching all the kids in my school about fishing sustainably. This means we can eat fish without running out the future. We are farming a freshwater fish called tilapia(罗非鱼) which people can grow in tanks in their homes and gardens instead of catching lots out of the seas.

　　We look after the fish during our agriculture agricultural science lessons. It’s my favorite lesson because we get to go outside and work in our school vegetable garden and look after the fish. I am in charge of the fish at the moment. I give them food- water plants which we grow here. Mr. Peters hopes that when all the kids at my school go home and show their parents how we have grown fish at school, they can do the same at home. He hopes that one day everyone in Tobago will be able to do it.

　　I love working on the project because it is fun. More importantly, it teaches us business skills and ways to help protect the environment.

　　Soon our fish will be big enough to eat and then we will learn some nice recipes so we can cook and enjoy them at last.
