enable fisherman to make a good living while preventing the porpoise from

becoming extinct. If this is to be the case, the answers to several key questions will

need to be obtained first, to determine whether it would be possible for fisherman

to make a good living from this endeavor. The willingness of tourists to pay, the

amount of expected revenue, the impact of weather and external factors, and the

skill and willingness of the fishermen themselves would all need to be assessed to

evaluate whether the plan proposed by the government would be likely to have the

predicted result.
