800 reviews and it has a 4.8 on Amazon. Also sounds right up my alley. Purchased!

Sure, and I'm not arguing against vegetarianism, I think that's a great choice. I've been on and off a vegetarian diet for some time. It is definitely the most sustainable and safest option. But many people are very opposed to the idea for one reason or another, so I believe that encouraging a wide range of sustainable practices within their lifestyle is a good place to start. As more and more plant-based options become available, hopefully a lot more people will come around to the idea that vegetarianism is easy, affordable, ethical, and sustainable. That said, as someone who believes all these things, sometimes it's easier said than done - it takes effort, which is a barrier to overcome.

I don't think you have to be so black and white. There are many millions of people worldwide who depend on marine resources to survive. Yes, industrial fishing is a HUGE problem. But, there are sustainable fishing practices that reduce bycatch and actively work to prevent dangerous ghost nets, entanglements, environmental damage, etc.

I think the most reasonable and responsible approach is to do your research and select ethical products. Or, if you so choose, eliminate fish and other seafood from your site entirely.

That is really interesting! I was commenting on another reply yesterday about the intelligence of cetaceans and how sad it is to know what humans have done to so many of them. I'll try and find that article today, thanks!

Ah👈, I see what you mean. Of course, it's all those single-use plastics you use on a daily basis, not the producers of those plastics. No, not at all.

I think there just generally needs to be a revolution in the way we utilize our marine resources. It doesn't really come down to a single fishery. As a whole, we're over-exploiting our oceans and creating the foundations of a catastrophe.

I can't tell if you're kidding. It's ghost netting, or nets/rigging that are unmanned and floating as debris in the open ocean. Ghost nets account for a huge portion of marine debris, and kill tons of wildlife.

So sad that there are so few left and the population is still in decline.

It breaks my heart to see what people have done to the planet, the environment, the creatures that live there—especially cetaceans, which are widely known to be some of the most intelligent animals on earth.

If only politicians could govern in good faith.

It's unclear if they'll be able to locate the whale again. Unfortunate, considering the importance - obviously safety is the priority, but given their conservation status, perhaps they should track her through the night.
