Based on paragraph 9 of the passage, what is one unintended effect of government subsidies of the fishing industry? “Moreover, some governments have failed to respond to the overfishing crisis, or have responded in ways that only make the problem worse. For example some governments continue to subsidize their fishing industry. While subsides are meant to help industries that are suffering as a result of the decrease in fish stock, environmental organizations say subsides are counter productive. The governments end up actually paying small fisheries to continue to overfish. These organizations believe that the wiry Ms commercial fishing fleet is already far larger than is required to catch all the fish we need.”
