Federal Register :: Fisheries of the Exclusive Economic Zone off Alaska; Cook Inlet Salmon; Amendment 16

This finding suggests that a person’s perception of their environment acts as a form of peer pressure, even when peers do not directly exert any pressure. It can decrease self-confidence and lead to poor academic performance, distancing from family members and friends, or an increase in depression and anxiety. Left untreated, this could eventually lead teens to engage in self-harm or have suicidal thoughts.

Children and adolescents

This subpart contains regulations governing the commercial and recreational harvest of salmon in the Salmon Management Area (See § 679.2). (vi) Adjustment of TAC for any salmon species or stock and closure or opening of a season in all or part of the Cook Inlet EEZ Area. NMFS will work to improve the level of information available to manage the fishery and may consider other management tools including Federal test fisheries and genetics sampling to address future management needs. One additional change from the proposed rule was removing a proposed requirement that any interactions or entanglements with marine mammals would be required to be recorded in the logbook. NMFS determined that this requirement would be duplicative with and may be confused with existing reporting requirements under the Marine Mammal Authorization Program and has therefore removed the requirement from this final rule.

Social Media

Further, NMFS expects that participants drift gillnet fishing in the Cook Inlet EEZ Area will be able to maintain their existing range of harvests and may be able to increase harvests if conservation conditions allow for it. Overall, because harvest levels of all sectors are expected to remain more or less consistent with status quo conditions, no long term community level impacts are expected. Many public commenters from Northern Cook Inlet expressed concern with any management plan that would increase EEZ harvests and thereby decrease salmon returns to the Northern Cook Inlet, causing adverse economic impacts on those communities. Instead, NMFS selected a management strategy that will preserve the complicated balance among various groups throughout Cook Inlet that has provided for the sustained participation of all Cook Inlet fishing communities for decades.

Subpart J—Salmon Fishery Management

The data are used to ensure that the fishery participants adhere to harvesting, processing, and other requirements for the Cook Inlet EEZ Area salmon fishery. All Cook Inlet EEZ Area salmon fishery participants using drift gillnet gear are required to provide additional information to NMFS for management purposes. As in other North Pacific fisheries, processors provide catch recording data to managers to monitor harvest. Processors are required to record deliveries and processing activities to aid in fishery administration. While these measures do increase costs to commercial fishery sector participants, all of these elements are necessary to manage the fishery and prevent overfishing. Specific consideration was given in their development to minimize the burden on participants to the extent practicable while also providing required information to Federal fishery managers in a timely manner.

• Peer pressure can be both positive and negative, as in some cases, people may put pressure on others not to use recreational drugs and alcohol.
• As a result, there is no alternative to having separately managed salmon fisheries in Cook Inlet, and the State and Federal fisheries are separated along the jurisdictional EEZ boundary.
• Similar to the Federal management of the Cook Inlet EEZ, the Pacific Fishery Management Council’s Salmon FMP expressly limits Federal management to the fisheries in EEZ waters.

Other Commercial Salmon Fishing Management Measures and Prohibitions

In a nationally representative sample, adolescents who had genetic predisposition were more likely to have good friends who were heavy substance users and were furthermore, more likely to be vulnerable to the adverse influence of these friends.[23] Results from specific candidate gene studies have been mixed. In addition, Chinese consumers say that they are more likely to consider buying a product if they see it discussed positively by friends on a social media site.[57] Some countries have a very low usage rate of social media platforms, or have cultures that do not value it as highly. Many people consider peer pressure a negative thing, but this isn’t always the case. People, especially teens and young adults, may be more likely to do prosocial behaviors when they see people their own age doing the same things. For example, research has shown that teens with friends who volunteer are more likely to volunteer themselves.

Children and teens who do not know how to handle peer pressure should talk with a trusted adult or invest in relationships with friends who do not use drugs or alcohol. In this article, we look at peer pressure and how it relates to drug use in more detail. We explain how peer pressure works, why it has the potential to lead to substance use disorders, and how people can resist peer pressure to use recreational drugs. Peer pressure, whether negative or positive, can have a major impact on a persons behavior and mindset.

1. Peer Pressure on Social Media Across Cultures

Instead of making snap decisions think through the scenario as well as the positive and negative impact each outcome can have on your life. As you can imagine, this is a powerful form of peer pressure because it’s much more difficult to resist. A teen is afraid of ridicule and losing his/her friend(s) if he/she doesn’t do what is asked. Some researchers did a social experiment where they asked a group of people to identify which line out of the three was the same as the one given. However, when peer pressure was added, meaning they heard the answers of those who went before them, 38% of them changed their answer to line A after some people in front of them purposely answered A.

Once a vessel owner or authorized representative obtains an SFFP, it is valid until the expiration date shown on the permit, which is after 3 years if issued at the beginning of a permit cycle. Participants must maintain a physical or electronic copy of their valid SFFP aboard the named vessel. As with other Federal fisheries, if a vessel owner or authorized representative surrenders an SFFP, they could not obtain a new SFFP for that vessel until the start of the next 3-year permit cycle.

Peer pressure on social media across cultures

• The Magnuson-Stevens Act requires ACLs for fisheries managed under the Magnuson-Stevens Act, and TACs are how NMFS implements ACLs.
• For example, if a person sees that their group of friends spends a lot of time drinking, they may feel pressure to drink, even in the absence of direct peer pressure.
• Further, NMFS expects that participants drift gillnet fishing in the Cook Inlet EEZ Area will be able to maintain their existing range of harvests and may be able to increase harvests if conservation conditions allow for it.
• NMFS also shared information about the action and its potential implementation and answered questions during the consultation.
• Or if a popular friend wants to earn money and save to buy a car, a less outgoing teenager may also be influenced to get a job and open a savings account.

This is when a child is forming new friendships and choosing an identity among those friends. Peer pressure is the influence, whether direct or indirect, that is placed on individuals within the same social group that impacts their behavior. This can affect all sorts of different groups, but perhaps some of the most susceptible to peer pressure are the groups formed in adolescence. In other words, peer pressure influences people to do certain things and behave in certain ways that they might not usually do.

Learn more about the types and effects of peer pressure and how you can prepare your child to deal with it in a healthy way. Discuss each of these scenarios with others and come up with examples of current experiences. If you are helping someone else deal with peer pressure which of the following is a type of indirect peer pressure? and the teen is reluctant to talk about it, don’t worry, just be supportive and available when he/she needs you. Have you ever done something that you wouldn’t do in a billion years just because you’re the only one in your friend group who hasn’t done it before?
