In the case studies session for TD Workshop the following problems were identified by the participants:
- Fishermen use poison to catch fish because it is easy to catch more fish in a short time.

- Fishermen are catching their fish before the recommended time given by the fisheries scientist. Which may cause transmission of antibiotic.
- Fish of Shari river are dying due to coal mining which is coming from our neighbour country.
- A farmer has a pond, he uses medicine for farming fish, villagers use the pond water.
- Acidification of seawater due to CO2 and plastic pollution in Saint Martin caused by tourists.
- Wholesaler and actioner manipulate to fish price in the market.
