Global problems can be “whittled away”
Pádraic Fogarty @whittledaway “We studied 230 fisheries around the world. We found populations of many overfished species are in far worse condition than has been reported, and the sustainability of fisheries was overstated”
We need a global treaty to end all industrial fishing

Replying to @whittledaway
If you produce “fish” from other sources that tastes good and lower cost, and no fishing and gathering and transportation cost – then you can put most of them out of business. It would take a kind of socioeconomic warfare, an all out non-violent, smart and sustained effort. I doubt that will happen and will not live long enough to see all the fish gone, or alternatives found.
By the way, no treaty is ever enforced by the UN. Nor by countries who allow fishermen to do whatever benefits politicians and investors. When the price of fish goes up, alternatives will be found. But you do not have to wait until all the fish are gone – if you work harder and smarter and longer than you have in your life. An AI could be made to do much of the work, if you know what to do already.
