Question
Read the passage below and determine which of the
following statements can be logically inferred. Passage: A coastal federation of artisanal fishing cooperatives has implemented a "Blue Carbon Initiative," where members receive premium prices for their catch in exchange for strictly adhering to seasonal no-take zones and using biodegradable gear. While maritime biologists celebrate the resulting rebound in local biodiversity and seagrass health, socio-economists point out a hidden friction: the high cost of compliant gear and the seasonal loss of income have forced many younger fishers to take secondary jobs in the burgeoning coastal tourism industry. Critics argue that while the initiative preserves the ecosystem, it may inadvertently erode the traditional apprentice system, as the next generation spends less time on the water mastering specialized maritime skills. Statements: I. The "Blue Carbon Initiative" involves a financial incentive for fishers who follow specific environmental protocols. II. The economic pressures of the initiative are causing a shift in how younger members of the community allocate their working time. III. The coastal tourism industry is intentionally sabotaging the fishing cooperatives to gain a larger share of the local labor market.Solution
Statement I follows: The passage states that members "receive premium prices for their catch in exchange for strictly adhering to... protocols." This confirms a financial incentive linked to environmental compliance. Statement II follows: The text explicitly mentions that high costs and seasonal losses have "forced many younger fishers to take secondary jobs in... tourism," and that they are "spending less time on the water." This indicates a shift in their allocation of time due to the initiative's economic impact. Statement III does not follow: While the passage mentions that fishers are moving toward the tourism industry, it characterizes this as a result of "hidden friction" and economic necessity, not as a result of intentional sabotage by the tourism sector.
