The idea that this is some sort of planned, coordinated response to overfishing has not been even remotely proven, and is not backed by any researchers. It's just the fanciful thinking of some imaginative HNers. The idea is patently absurd. The boats they're attacking are not even fishing boats.

- marcellus23 3y agoHow about when an actual marine biologist starts thinking so, instead of a computer programmer?
