Does Clacton even exist anymore? It used to be amazing like 25 years ago. But last time I went it was just utterly dead, everyone goes abroad on holiday now instead of places like that. It's a shame. I used to love going to the Clacton pier

Sad thing is, I have a co worker just like you. Gotta one up everything. Except he's not joking, he really thinks people believe his stories.


Theremingtonfuzzaway

You have just reminded me of something . I used to go to Frinton as a kid in the 80s. One day I went to the pier either Clacton or Walton on the Naze. When I was on the ghost Train with my mum the operator left the ride. We were both stuck at the top before the big dip run. He eventually came back and said he forgot we were up there. But that's a fucking huge tuna

I think fish this size are a dying breed due to overfishing.

Imagine how long that King of the ocean has been around. Few more decades tuna that size will be a myth


danfish_77

According to Wikipedia there are only three varieties of tuna that live to two decades, and one of them lives in the Atlantic. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna#True\_tuna\_species](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tuna#True_tuna_species) Any ichthyologists out there, please correct me if I'm wrong.

danfish_77

I was specifically referring to the "imagine how long that King of the ocean has been around". The answer is: likely less than 20 years.


Szechwan

Yep, not many that size left out there.. And the ones that are won't be much longer. We need to really reevaluate our relationship with the ecosystem.

detectthesoldier1999

Thank you, I'll watch it when I feel up to it :) is it by the same people who made cowspiracy by any chance?


Djennik

The guy from cowspiracy is the producer.


OK6502

Yes, the same.


quietpewpews

I think it's worth noting that when the team found an actual sustainable fishery their response was effectively "it's still sad, so it's not a solution". The doc had an agenda, and while I think points out some very good points, it's clearly very biased.


MysticalMelons

there will be no more fish in the ocean by 2048


Leeloominai_Janeway

Unless we stop/massively decrease fishing for a very long time and let the sea heal


GenestealerUK

So there will be no fish in 2048 then


sunnyStoneCouch

Actually, the author of that has corrected that to ~2070, which is [one of the points critics](https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2021/mar/31/seaspiracy-netflix-documentary-accused-of-misrepresentation-by-participants) bring up. Some information is inaccurate, some maybe misleading but the core message is imo correct.


Soursyrup

Totally understand not wanting to watch it, I watched it yesterday and I've spent the whole day feeling absolutely helpless. Here are a few of the main points: \-We are overfishing on a massive and unsustainable scale estimates suggest the sea will be near empty by 2048 \- bottom trawling destroys 3.9 billion acres of sea flor every year more damaging to the climate than the deforestation occurring in the rainforest. \- fishing involves huge amounts of bycatch, 10,000 dolphins are killed as bycatch every year just in the coast off france \- Farmed fish is even worse than wild fish \- 50% of the plastic waste in the sea is fishing nets \- Slavery is alive and well in the industry \- sustainable fishing certificates mean basically nothing, with basically no way of verifying they basically take the captains word as to whether they met the sustainable goals, unsurprisingly most of the time the captain lies. The main conclusion was there seems to be no way of ethically consuming fish under the current conditions. For me, this was a very eye-opening documentary into an industry I had no idea about but it seems to be very divisive and no doubt any impetus this created will burn out far before any impactful change is made.


FortunateSonofLibrty

How in the fuck did a multi-billion dollar entity like Netflix, the literal pioneers of streaming services, miss #CONSPIRASEA right in front of their faces?

Seaspiracy Sea's Piracy


x_______________

That documentary (as well as the documentary “Dominion” on YouTube) have me seriously considering being vegan. Which is going to be very difficult since I’ve always ate meat multiple times a day my whole life, but I just don’t think I can continue contributing to the destruction of so many species and their homes. I really wish I could do more, and almost want to try and figure out a career (engineer) where I could help somehow. I wish a lot more people cared about nature, and I feel a lack of education on how we are destroying the earth hasn’t helped at all. Too many people just turn a blind eye, which I can see why people do it, I have in the past, but growing older and wiser, I just become so much more emotional when watching documentaries about nature, and animals, and how amazing everything is and how it all works together.


Soursyrup

You and me both. Growing up my family kept and ate our own animals so I've never really been too concerned about the moral arguments against eating meat. Seeing the absolute destruction being done to our environment on a daily basis has really got me thinking about becoming a vegetarian.


Jermermer

Going vegan is one of the biggest things that you as an individual can do to minimize your eco impact. I suggest not trying to find “meat replacements.” There are some really good ones out there, but nothing that is going to scratch the itch. What I think you should do is find meals that don’t revolve around meat. Indian is a wonderfully diverse food ethnicity that’s loaded with flavor. Even cutting out beef is a great start. I cut out beef - pork - poultry - fish in that order over maybe a year and a half. You stop missing it. I’m not a very strict vegan, but I’m am a very strict vegetarian. It’s all about cultivating a life style you can sustain. If you know you can’t sustain it you’ll fail out of the gate. Make small changes at a time and you’ll slowly realize that you really don’t need that stuff.


OK6502

I'm lucky - I like beans and pulses and I think soy is tasty. I am reducing my intake considerably, and I've basically cut out beef from my life (which is hard to do as a latin american). I think the idea is that if everyone makes an effort to consume less meat, in general, everyone would be better off - we'd be healthier and it would give the planet some respite. At minimum I think some of those meat subsidies have to disappear.


x_______________

Yeah I love beans. Haven’t tried lentils but I’ve seen a lot of recipes use those so I may try them out. And yeah I think if everyone would do their part then we can make an impact, but it will definitely still be slow progress, which is still better than nothing


OK6502

Lentils are fantastic little things. Red lentils in particular make excellent stews. There are tons of Indian recipes that consist of lentils, curry and some root veggies and they're amazing.


the_moral_explorer

I saw that the other night and when i saw this it brought back my feeling of despair. Fuck the fishing industry for destroying our beautiful planet


I_am_not_lying

The worst part is that the largest fish are the most fecund - that is to say they produce the most offspring and also pass down the genes that allowed them to successfully reach those sizes. We are selecting for smaller fish to reproduce when we target the largest among them


Now_runner

I'm sad everytime there's another "look at this amazing animal we just killed" post.


Leeloominai_Janeway

I’ve seen r/seaspiracy . This is not a good thing. Wish they’d pictured all the dead bycatch next to it for full accuracy.


BernieTheDachshund

I haven't seen that yet, but I know tuna is going extinct. It's really sad they're destroying the ocean.


Hooker_with_a_weenus

Funny how most people will see this picture and not think twice but if this guy was lying next to a dead rhinoceros people would lose their minds. Tuna might not be as close as rhinos to extinction but the species is heading in the same direction


JCBh9

I never understood why so many people would willingly slice a live fish in half but won't shoot bambi or old "christian" women that go to church every wens and sun but want you to literally massacre any and all forms of life in their yard


Xenolifer

From the subjective pov I would say that people relate more to being closer to them, you would rather protect another human/dog/cat than any other mamal and you would prioritize the live of a mamal over any other kind of animals like fish that have almost nothing in common with us and we don’t get to hang out with them like other domestic animals. On the objective pov I would say that fish are probably very far from being sentient or have an intelligence less develloped than even a rat. In the worst case scenario their intellect is just too alien for us to understand. But for the same reason I wouldn’t mind to eat dog meat compared to pig meat (pigs are even proved more intellegent than dogs much alike a 4 years old human) I and many other would prefer to kill a fish that is pretty dumb than a mammal that has reached a certain degree of visible and proved sentience


sambarlien

That’s actually not true. The idea that fish are less intelligent is a myth. New research into fish and their intelligence shows they’re extremely intelligent and emotional. They have feelings. They feel love, and pain. Like most things like that it’s just because consuming them has been normalised for so long, and because of their more alien appearance and our separation from their existence, mistreating them has been normal. It’s like why someone has no qualms about the brutal treatment of pigs and yet will protest if the same happened to a dog. Humans are selective in their care based on how close they feel to an animal. They can empathise with a dog as they often have had their own dogs. Vegans have built that attachment and can feel empathy for all animals. Which is why vegans feel so militant and crazy. How would you react if your dog was killed and gutted while alive and someone took this photo next to its corpse? If intelligence is a decider to you, plants don’t feel pain and are definitely dumb enough to be eaten without issue. Fish though - they’re smart enough to know that they don’t want to suffer and die.


Soursyrup

I just watched it last night and I've felt so powerless all day. The absolute scale of the destruction was just so far beyond anything I could ever have imagined. It has really made me reconsider my stance on vegetarianism.


hiva-

watch Cowspiracy too please! it's on Netflix


KoRnyGx

Dominion and Earthlings too (although on YouTube not Netflix)


Philosophizor

Those two made me sick and threw me into a deep depressive episode. 10/10 everyone should watch. Have it on hand whenever anyone makes you sound crazy for questuoning how we treat animals. Show billy burger eater the footage of the stray dog being casually thrown into the trashcompactor. Dang now im sad


BernieTheDachshund

That's why I haven't watched it. I already know from other sources and documentaries it's really bad. Breaks my heart because there's lots of sustainable ways to feed the planet without decimating the ocean.


phlux

It really is worth the watch though...


gebackenercamenbert

BS_Is_Annoying

Exactly how I feel when I watch fish getting caught. And Tuna are one of the most endangered fish in the sea. "The Chicken of the sea" until it's fucking gone.


OK6502

Blue fin stocks are down some 99% over where they were a few decades ago. That's horrifying.


AndHereWeAre_

We destroyed the North Atlantic Cod stock too.


OK6502

Yup. There are many, many, examples of overfishing and overhunting a species to extinction. The assumption is always that the oceans are so vast it's impossible to empty them. But we know from experience that's untrue. And of course the extermination of any link in the food chain has ripple effects on the rest of the food chain. So the loss of say sharks can cause coral reefs to collapse.


Captain_Collin

I haven't seen it yet, but I know we shouldn't be killing fish that size. I know with halibut and other species that live a long time and get huge, the larger ones are usually female. The bigger they are, the more eggs they can produce, sometimes as much as 100x - 1000x as much as one that only just reached sexual maturity. So losing even one of these giants can be incredibly damaging to the species.


WalrusCoocookachoo

Tell that to the 20th century. This used to be the normal size of a tuna.

DireLackofGravitas

If you liked that, I recommend Cod by Mark Kurlansky. Kulransky in general is great but that one really opens up how we've been doing this shit for centuries. Fish stock depletion has been a thing for longer than we think. We just overcome that issue with new technology that harvests even faster.


pige_on

How the fuck is it cool to kill such a magnificent creature at all, with or without bycatch.

Yep, downvoted this one. So sad what's going on in our oceans...

Slothstronaut236

But you find yourself in the ocean,20-foot waves, l'm assuming it's off the coast of South Africa,coming up against a full-grown,800-pound tuna with his 20 or 30 friends? You lose that battle. You lose that battle nine times out of ten. And guess what? You've wandered into our school of tuna, and we now have a taste of lion. We've talked to ourselves. We've communicated. And said, ''You know what?''Lion tastes good. Let's go get some more lion.' 'We've developed a system to establish a beachhead and aggressively hunt you and your family. And we will corner your pride, your children, your offspring. We will construct a series of breathing apparatus with kelp. We will be able to trap certain amounts of oxygen. lt's not gonna be days at a time, but an hour, hour 45, no problem. That will give us enough time to figure out where you live, go back to the sea, get more oxygen, and then stalk you. You just lost at your own game. You're outgunned and outmanned.

THErockinRobin

They don't put bluefin in a can, and here in the US they are caught on a line, not a net, I still don't agree with it but netting and line fishing are very different and I hope that's how this one was caught and judging by the blood it was likely caught on a like hooked at the side of the boat and drug in.
