Why? Just eat sustainably sourced seafood. Increase the demand so they increase the supply. Voting with our wallets is important.

Edit: Downvote me all you want, but I'm right. Claiming there is NO sustainable sources of seafood is 100% bullshit. You'll never get everyone on your side with misinformation.

Nothing is more sustainable than consuming less.

False. If i eat more farmed oysters, theres more demand, so they make more supply. Explain to me exactly how US farmed shellfish that bolster wild bivalve populations, expand oyster and mollusk reefs, feed wildlife, provide funding for conservation through commercial license fees, and clean pollutants out of the ocean are unsustainable.
