  It requires lifting fishermen out of poverty

  Bruh. These aren’t 1 dude in a boat with a long line. These are billion dollar corporations running fleets. And yes, we need international cooperation to bring them to heel. Like with farmers, however, make no mistake that the people doing this kind of pollution are at all ignorant or unaware of what they are doing.

  the average person has very little way to reduce the number of plastic nets in the water

  Besides the obvious and 100% viable option of just not eating fish.

    The average person cannot make the connection between the food they eat and the animal it was. People act so appalled by the torturous conditions in animal farms, and then stop at McDonald’s on their lunch break to pick up some chicken nuggets, totally unaware of the irony

    Yeah eating fish is not sustainable, especially considering how global fish population is dropping rapidly. Sadly, my dad loves fish…

      I mod the vegan community. It seems to be working well after about 6 years.

  You could go the rest of your life without eating another fish and you would be fine.
