Sell a man fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you’ll get fishing quotas and overfishing, you’ll get bottom trawlers that destroy the environment, you’ll get gigantic ocean plastic continents that are the size of countries, you get general habitat degradation, fish that aren’t fresh and frozen for weeks. Up to almost 40% of all the fish we catch is fish we don’t intend to catch, it’s called bycatch and we’re doing it. Not to even mention all the unreported and illegal fishing we have absolutely no idea. Extinction events, we are the extinction event. Don’t 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

I get how you feel about the fishing industry tbh It's true that the way we fish and farm fish can have devastating impacts on the environment and the health of our oceans. But then, I believe we shouldn't abandon the idea of fishing altogether. Instead, A more sustainable and responsible approach can be implemented. Like… -Implementing catch limits and quotas to prevent overfishing -Improving fishing gear and technology to reduce habitat damage -Consumers could also be educated about the importance of sustainable seafood choices and supporting responsible fishing practices I believe a degree of change can be made with these.
