That’s horrible.
Consequences of the human plague.
That sounds like it can’t be avoided as long as there’s humans, but some humans actively chose to do it and it can absolutely be avoided, just by everyone choosing not to do it.
Disgusting human behaviour aside I thought this was going to be about mating habits and as an ass man I am now disappointed
A better weight to drag along the ocean floor instead of chains or metal beams would be all the executives of these fishing companies.
It would help them understand the damage they do to the ocean up close and personal.
Well that’s disappointing to see. I’ve done a little research as I enjoy eating fish. In the UK at least the MSC goes someway to working on sustainability https://www.msc.org/what-we-are-doing/end-overfishing
Overall in net, there is not much way around the fact that we have to reduce consumption and production of fish to end overfishing. Even fish farms often use wild caught fish as feed
Labels that get funding by producers paying to have them tend to not work out well. Massive conflict of interests emerge. Here’s some articles ranging from 2013 to 2023 showing different problems with the MSC’s labels
Scores of organisations have expressed concern that the MSC’s certification process does not properly account for bycatch, particularly of sharks and cetaceans. In 2018, a group of 66 conservation groups and academics accused the MSC of not paying enough attention to the protection of species not specifically targeted by fisheries.

Biologist Susanna Fuller, co-director of marine programs at Canada’s Ecology Action Centre, agrees. “We know … that blue stamp doesn’t mean that you’re sustainable,” she says. When asked if consumers should choose MSC-labeled seafood, Fuller pauses. “It’s a gamble,” she says.
