A good first step would be to completely abolish fishing subsidies. Fish is priced abnormally low in stores because a portion of our income taxes go to pay for the fish a second time over.
Similar happens with Corn, however corn is a multi-functional food product. Humans eat it as corn, as bread, as oil, as sugars; then humans can also eat the cows, chickens, pigs and lambs that can also be corn fed, but we can also drink the cow's milk, use it as butter or cheese and we can use the chickens eggs, or we can use leather from cows or pigs, feathers from chickens and wool from a sheep.
What we as humans can get from corn is a list with thousands of items. However, what we as humans can get from fish is only a couple of items - food and from certain fish usable oils.

- pinko 16y ago> A good first step would be to completely abolish fishing subsidies. Especially if you couple it with some form of jobs or welfare for fishermen, so as to decouple the political issues from the goal at hand (saving our fisheries). But if you refuse to do that, you willingly bolt the battle to save our fisheries with other political issues that can and should be debated independently.
