Sell a man fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man how to fish and youāll get fishing quotas and overfishing, youāll get bottom trawlers that destroy the environment, youāll get gigantic ocean plastic continents that are the size of countries, you get general habitat degradation, fish that arenāt fresh and frozen for weeks. Up to almost 40% of all the fish we catch is fish we donāt intend to catch, itās called bycatch and weāre doing it. Not to even mention all the unreported and illegal fishing we have absolutely no idea. Extinction events, we are the extinction event. Donāt even get me started on farmed fishing, it is a nightmare. Think industrial chicken farming but with fish. We truly are not going to be eating real fish in 100 years I bet. Probably for the best I know; but the consequences will be total and utter destruction of our ocean habitat and ecosystem

Iām not against fishing at all. I admire all around watermen and women who spend time and understand and respect the ocean and the ways that it ebbs and flows. I think spear fishing is great, and I think fishing with your friends as an activity is great. I actually donāt even think industrial fishing is bad in and of itself. Itās just more, sad. I donāt think itās going to get better any time soon, and in some ways I do think it will improve, but to me the use of the ocean is like tourism. People think itās someone elseās problem, when in fact it is all our problem. A true tragedy of the commons

Would have suggested farmed fishing until I read the latter end of your cast. You did a really deep thinking before saying all these and you must have thought about a better way to counter this. Are you saying man should have never been taught how to fish?
