Organised crime
seems to pay quite handsomely, especially if you manage to be part of a
profession that seems to be beyond reproach. That can surely be the only
conclusion to draw from the group of 17 fishermen who were
fined a mere £720 thousand in court today for an overfishing scam that
effectively stole £63 MILLION of fish from our seas.

Today we've released shocking footage of ocean
life dying in gruesome ways at the hands of industrial tuna fishers in the
Pacific Ocean. The footage was shot by a New Zealand helicopter pilot turned
whistleblower, who undertook aerial reconnaissance for tuna boats in the
Pacific in 2009.

Without fail, anytime I blog about more sustainable fish there will be at least one comment along the lines of ‘go vegan’ or ‘no one needs to eat fish anyway!’ That is of course fine and a viewpoint I (as a vegetarian of 25 years and counting) can certainly sympathise with.
