    Same issue in UK, Maggie Thatcher got rid of inshore fishing ban to allow for a free for all ... the damage is massive, but there is talk of reintroducing the ban.

    This is absolutely.....BRILLIANT! Think about it, yall, not only is he helping the environment & saving fish stocks, he is also promoting art & is providing future archeologists PERFECT artifacts for their work! Hundreds of years from now, (if we are still around), if we have succeeded in the climate fight, our successors will write books about it & these sculptures will be a part of that story, especially if they are brought up to the surface & put on display in a climate change museum in the future. Maybe even Rome or Venice. I LOVE THIS! 🥰

    This summer i spent 10 days in the wonderful Isola D'Elba, just a few kms off the coast of Tuscany in Italy. It's a protected area of the sea, and there were tons of fishs literally everywhere when i dived. But so many parts of the mediterranean, the red sea and the atlantic were i dived were completely empty, as all the fishs had been taken. Much more should be done to protect the sea, and we should try to only eat farmed fish, not the wild ones.

    • @cordeliushultberg9075
      @cordeliushultberg9075 Před rokem +1

      Farmed fish are usually fed wild caught "bait" fish so farming doesn't necessarily solve the problem. Wild caught fish can be sustainable. As a general rule of thumb, if its from a small scale fishery and locally caught it is more likely to be sustainable than not!
