>these farms are disgusting
Commercial fishing has absolutely devastated our oceans. Farmed fish have long been proposed as the "sustainable" solution.
If commercial, open water fishing or fish farming isn't the solution to provide sustainable food, then what is?
- alphaalpha101 9y agoSustainable commercial open water fishing is completely acceptable to everyone, surely?
- devrandomguy 9y agoThe local Coast Salish natives have been successfully farming oysters and other shellfish in the tidal zone for thousands of years. This actually improves the nearby environment by filtering the water, and sequesters carbon in the CaCO3 seashells. We could probably scale this up safely, if the DFO is still capable of regulating anything effectively. We need to repair the DFO, the gutting of regulatory agencies is a root cause for many of these problems.
- robotbikes 9y agoSardines and other smaller fish are generally far more sustainable than the types of predator fish that humans have been pushed to prefer. There are also sustainable rates of fishing but our current economy doesn't work to incentivize this aside from the labels and NGOs approvals that go on certain seafood products.
