If a politician:
-Has never cared at all about whales before;
-Is in the pocket of big oil, an industry which has a financial incentive to oppose alternative energy;
and
-is a well-documented liar,
You don't have to take their "we have to stop offshore wind to save whales" claims seriously.

I am encouraged to see how AI, machine learning, and satellites are being used to stop overfishing.

This should be monitored to find out how effective the shark fishing ban was and then how opening up shark fishing will affect the shark population after the ban.

Always a pleasure to discuss fisheries with Dan!
I had a great time chatting with @andrewlewin.bsky.social on the 'How to Protect the Ocean' podcast the other week.
We spoke about the ownership of distant-water fishing vessels, amongst other things.

When ocean conservation campaigns focus on easy actions like skipping straws, people feel like they’ve done enough. In this clip, I explain why we need systemic solutions, not just feel-good symbols, if we want to truly protect our oceans. 🌊

#oceanchat is addressing overfishing.
controversial take: Lots of overfishing would end if fishing boats had to pay retail rates for thier fuel. governments diesel fuel used by fishing boats keep them fishing when they would not make a profit otherwise.

If you want to know about the history of fishing, read The Unnatural History of the Sea by Dr. Callum Roberts
Published in the mid 2000s, so probably needs some updating, but it's very good!
Some of the talking points on fishing 400 years ago were probably pulled from that book
