Fishes Are Dying!World A generation ago, most people believed that our oceans represented an endless resource. Today, decimated populations of once-abundant marine species and the destruction of important habitats demonstrate that we are taking more from the oceans than the oceans can produce. If we truly are to institute sustainable management for protecting our oceans, we must act boldly, decisively, innovatively, and quickly to incorporate the following principles into our ocean management.

Market Risk Mitigation

Users refuse to provide Facebook, LinkedIn or Blog account Convince users that they can get the better match by providing more information

Social network sites may not have API to access user information or they may block access to user information.

We may integrate with different online activities of user besides social network sites such as blog, user cookies, etc. to reduce dependency.

Technology Risk Mitigation

Our servers/algorithms are not able to handle the load of increase in number of users and our services are jammed.

Excessive product testing takes into account sudden spikes in traffic. The code will be scalable to accommodate sudden new requirements.

Leakage of user personal information Security would be our main concern. All private information is encrypted according to industry standards.

Financial Risk Mitigation

Cost is underestimated, resulting in overspending. We would keep conservative spending, and do accounts regularly, especially salary expense.

Political Risks Mitigation

Topics with sensitive political information would incur hostility to glucial

We should make sure that discussion is private and publishing of discussion should be approved by users. Discussion about sensitive topics will also be moderated.

IP Risk Mitigation

The matching algorithm is stolen Application for patent of the matching algorithm
