            it’s not clear it did anything at all.

              It’s not like somebody is throwing nets in the water because I don’t eat fish.

                they don’t care whether you eat fish. they’re throwing the nets regardless.

                  Common misconception. It’s simple supply and demand. Do you think people would be destroying the seas if nobody would pay them for it?

                    That’s not so simple. Subsistence fishing is the sole means of livelihood and self-sustenance for a significant global population. It provides essential food security and supports local economies, particularly in coastal and island communities. This traditional practice ensures families have direct access to nutritious seafood, often using simple, low-cost methods. It is crucial for maintaining resilience in the face of environmental and economic challenges.

                    supply and demand is a theory about price discovery. it has no bearing on this discussion.
