          I don’t really understand your point.

          If I am not buying fish then even by a miniscule amount the demand has decreased.

          scale it up and you have your answer.

            The point is that there are 8 billion people on the planet, and no amount of personal responsibility will resolve the problem. Legislation and enforcement are the only way to resolve this issue.

            if the global fishing hasn’t decreased due to your tactic, then another tactic might be necessary

                stopping people from fishing. you could take their nets or boats or sabotage them somehow. protest on the dock so they can’t go fishing. I’m sure you can come up with something that’s effective.

                  you are welcome to do that. some of it is illegal.

                  I’m happy to remove my capital and boycot the system.

                  Boycotts have traditionally been both ridiculed and effective.
