sustainable fishery

Description

Sustainable fishery is a social courtesy that assumes fish populations are inexhaustible. A buzzword favoured in boardrooms over scientific data. A miracle guarantee where fishermen’s smiles remain even as stocks dwindle. Talking about the sea’s future while nets grow tenuous and untrustworthy. A promise so thin it lets everything slip through its seams.
