That’s not so simple. Subsistence fishing is the sole means of livelihood and self-sustenance for a significant global population. It provides essential food security and supports local economies, particularly in coastal and island communities. This traditional practice ensures families have direct access to nutritious seafood, often using simple, low-cost methods. It is crucial for maintaining resilience in the face of environmental and economic challenges.
did you try that?
There was no trying. I just did it.
it didn’t work
It did a tiny percentage. We’ll need more people to get a bigger percentage.
it’s not clear it did anything at all.
It’s not like somebody is throwing nets in the water because I don’t eat fish.
they don’t care whether you eat fish. they’re throwing the nets regardless.
Common misconception. It’s simple supply and demand. Do you think people would be destroying the seas if nobody would pay them for it?

supply and demand is a theory about price discovery. it has no bearing on this discussion.
Yes. Yes I did.
it didn’t work
Why?
looks like this comic is saying it’s not working. do you have some evidence it is?
Pick up an economics textbook
this is handwaiving, not evidence
You also used a comic as “evidence” literally one message up. you have no legs.
you have presented no evidence at all.
Bud we were talking about not eating fish. The question was why you think not eating fish would be ineffective at solving this problem.
Or…are you literally just saying that 1 person not eating fish won’t stop fishing? Cause if so, I really should just block you.
please, do
Cool
