Companies by their own nature are profit seeking above everything else, so I trust them to do anything in their power to deliver profits to the shareholders. I don't trust them not to rape the oceans to death.

Things like bottom trawling are a bit fucked... It's literally scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to our fish stocks.

Weird when experts say we can give fishing areas less than a decade of rest and they can bounce back provided they aren't totally destroyed... But fish stock preservation isn't in the companies interests.
