You should briefly indicate WHY you feel these strategies fall within the specific categories of the model. From the list of objectives you have placed in the model, pick one objective from EACH of the "bands" of the model. Describe how you would evaluate that objective. Would you use formative or summative methods (and why)? What types of study design (qualitative or quantitative) and specific techniques would you use to collect the data in order to evaluate that objective?

‘Mauritius declared a "state of environmental emergency" on August 7, 2020 after Japanese-owned cargo ship MV Wakashio ran aground on a coral reef, leaking 1,000 tons of oil onto pristine coasts. The island blue economy became a trash economy overnight. The oil from the ship threatens sea life already imperiled by climate change. In the same vein, according to marine ecologist from Mauritius, Fishermen community too, will suffer the consequences for years to come. This devastating oil spill has even poisoned fish and can even make humans sick if consumed.

In a similar way, it also deepens wounds in a tourism industry hurting from the pandemic. In fact, tourism provides jobs for an estimated 1 in 5 of its workers.

But the industry collapsed after the government cut the island off from the rest of the world to protect it from the corona virus pandemic. For shuttered hotels and restaurants, an ecological disaster on top of that might now be too much to bear.

Use appropriate supply and demand diagrams to analyse the effects on the market equilibrium price and quantity traded of fish, following:
