Fishy
As the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy continues to make waves, I am conflicted. Showing the devastating impacts of industrialized fishing is absolutely necessary and valuable. This should be the main takeaway from the film. The implication that sustainability labels like the Marine Stewardship Council are part of some secret conspiracy to support unsustainable fishing is, to put it politely, a red herring. Most disappointing of all is the lack of solutions. Telling 3 billion people to stop eating fish is naïve (and I speak as a vegan). The fishing industry is unsustainable and needs transforming. Let’s stay focused on how.
