Any ideas on what will be sustainable for the human race? I don’t have any answers but with the world population only getting bigger and not smaller it seems to me that food supplies are going to to keep getting tighter.
Although with countries like Norway doing their part there is hope yet..
The elephant in the room is Japan. The Japanese consume 90% of the tuna caught. They are the ones willing to pay the big money and create a black market for the over fishing of the tuna. Mitsubishi has a new fleet and bears ultimate responsibility for tuna depopulation. It is estimated they have over a 5 year supply of tuna in their freezers already. These are tuna that could be repopulating. Mitsubishi has horded these for profit only and don’t care about extinction of the tuna species. This pathological indifference to the future of the tuna is deeply ingrained in their culture… They will not stop until they destroy all tuna in the ocean.
