According to George Montet, hunting is “the most destructive among private industries” (Ocean’s Ocean’s Ocean is the movie that I was waiting for all of my profession – now the world should behave on his message, June 13). Have pressure groups in fossil fuel finally reached it?
Monbiot is right to shed light on our shatter through unjust hunting, but in our attempts to address the worst industrial fishing violations, especially the lower nets that have not been verified, we should not put the demon of the fishermen on a small scale – the most powerful of our possession in our surroundings.
Throughout the world, there are small hunters that use low -influencing equipment in coastal waters on the front lines against artificial old fishing. They are the first to feel the effects of the ocean decrease and the best in suggesting solutions.
Is it true that “the fishing industry whisper everything”? no. Some gears, such as lower beans, are already destroyed and must be restricted. But small fish fisheries that use low -impact gears are the opposite. They use environmentally friendly methods to provide low -carbon healthy food for coastal societies.
Is hunting really “the most destructive among all private industries”? no. Bossable fuel, mining, and chemical pressure will smile, as readers direct their anger towards the local internal hunting fleet.
Should the UK government redirect financing away from hunting and let the industry fade? no. Current subsidies are fairly preferred industrial ships with huge impacts. Rapid redistribution and investment in small fisheries will provide profits through flexible diets, enhance food security, sustainable livelihoods, and increase climate flexibility, as well as healthy ecosystems.
Should the oceans be closed for fishing, and some jazzi areas? no. Coastal water should be fully written with fishermen on a small scale to ensure that it is a hostess for future generations.
The world wakes up to the effects of the lower net. Now you should wake up to the vital importance of small fish fisheries – quickly.

I read George Montet’s article with interest. I am one of the producers of Ruert Murray 2009 End of the lineWhich was about the marine destruction, was partially funded by Channel 4, and broadcasting it. This film did not carefully avoid blame for the fishing industry, and an independent study showed that it had an impact on public positions, corporate behavior and political policy.
This film has been based on the previous work Charles CloverWhich appeared in the movie and whose book was of 2004 of the same title was a milestone in the campaign to save the world’s oceans.
It is not just a matter of making good and strong programs. Today, these celebrities have at the forefront, and a permanent impact is achieved through a continuous and continuous campaign from civil society and press groups – with the words of George “those whose job is to inform us.” My anxiety is yet circumferenceThe BBC will consider the “Played Job” and anyone else will agree in the media.

Many of us repeat George Montet “in the end!” In response to David Attenburo. But I was disappointed that the fishing names that looted the oceans were unclear. It is time because international companies that plundered the ecosystems of our oceans have publicly shyly.
Environmental NGOs, especially those who use citizen scientists to collect data in their own and unpaid, collected millions of relevant data, especially from internal water. However, we still have long “consultations” in marine protected areas, usually lead to anything that changes. I have completed four in recent years around the Scottish beach waters. There is complicity between the governments of the United Kingdom and its national scientific organizations and the preservation of nature in this, and environmental NGOs, for fear of loss of financing, grants, etc.
The government has been ratified by 2023 Treaty of the High Seas Agreeing to put 30 % of this water in marine protected areas. Ecological systems are the lifeline in our oceans and ultimately for us. Unfortunate and greed in the short term and financial returns are the name of this game. Stop delaying policy – do it now!
