I'm curious on fishing. What are those 1.3 billion chinese suppose to eat? Bugs? Not that I have a problem with them eating it. I just want to eat real fish.
As far as sport fishing goes, there is definitely some fuckery in my neck of the woods. Every year there is where it costs big money to enter. All the people entering it have $2m+ boats. The kind with like 3 350hp motors on the back. They race out to deep water at start time in the morning. Catch and release several 400lb+ fish. Race back at the end of the competition. Then gather each night to eat steak (seriously they don't even eat fish). So they waste hundreds of gallons of fuel per day and probably kill a few large fish in the process. At least with industrial fishing they are eating what they catch. The only reason I even know about this competition was because I was at the beach late one night when I saw all these expensive boats racing in.
I'm aware of how bad the chinese are at maintaining any equilibrium with nature. I'm not sure what can be done because they're population just isn't sustainable as their appetite increases. The environmental movement is just a hoax to destroy our economy until it starts dealing with china, india, and africa.
