I'm Aimswell and I live on the island of Tobago in the

West Indies. Like lots of 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 the big hotels. Recently everyone has started to notice

that there are not as many fish in the sea as there 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 involved in a programme at my school to find a

way for people in Tobago to be able to continue eating fish without making the

ones in the sea rare. My teacher, Mr

Peters, started it a little while ago with help from a holiday company and a UK

charity that cares for places where people go on holiday. The project is

teaching all the kids in my school about fishing continuously. This means

learning about ways that we can eat fish without running out in the future. We

are farming a freshwater fish called tilapia which people can grow in their

homes and gardens in tanks, instead of catching lots of fish out of the seas.

We look after the fish during our

agricultural science lessons. It's my favourite

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. They will grow

big enough to eat in about four months. We have two different types of tilapia

and they will each taste different when we eat them at last. They are really

easy to look after as all they need to eat is water plants which we grow here

too. 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 but also because it teaches us business skills and ways to

help protect the environment. For example, none of the water we use for the

fish is wasted as we use it to water our vegetables.

It won't be long until our fish are

big enough to eat and then we will learn some nice recipes so we can cook and

enjoy them at last.
