The plan would be the result of the scientific method, through which the impacts and causes of the current environmental problems would be addressed. Additionally, the scientific method would sit at the basis of the future actions to be taken. These would traditionally include:
The search for alternative sources of energy
The search for renewable sources of energy
The creation of an infrastructure which allowed the propagation and populous use of alternative energies
The education of the population to reduce their levels of consumerism to life necessities
The implementation of stricter regulations which punish economic agents who pollute waters or cut the forests in an unsustainable manner
Replant forests, clean waters and support the sustainable life of the endangered species.
At a smaller size and specific level, the alternative and immediate action to be taken is that of reducing the harvesting of krill by commercial fishermen. This would be achieved through legislative means which forbade the harvesting of fish. The local authorities would supervisee the regions where krill grew and was being collected, and fined the commercial fishermen which engaged in harvesting operations.
Also, at the specific level of the food web in Antarctica, other alternatives are available, as follows:
Designing and implementing a stricter plan of krill control in the Antarctic. This new management of the ecosystem would ensure the sufficiency of krill and the limitation of non-natural predators. Additionally, it would...
In other words, it is pivotal to recognize "that the Antarctic's unique character as the last great wilderness, as home to exceptional concentrations of biodiversity including penguins,
whales, and albatrosses, and its
critical role in global environmental processes, requires special conservation actions, including but not limited to protected and closed areas" (Antarctic Krill Conservation Project).
