Besides the obvious and 100% viable option of just not eating fish.
have you tried that?
It seems to be working well after about 6 years.
seems like this comic indicates it's not doing enough
Seems the problem is beyond finding a 'cure-all'. Multiple strategies will be necessary.
I'd prefer an effective strategy
..which somehow doesn't include producing less garbage?
less garbage isn't created regardless of whether you or I buy fish
An individual abstaining from owning slaves didn't reduce slave populations either. Think they were as dumb and ineffectual as I am? Fine.
so you are moving the goalposts from efficacy to ethics. that's fine, but I don't believe eating fish is unethical.
Multitudes of alternatives (plants!) are less cruel and harmful to our planet. Do you disagree?
I don't think eating fish is cruel, nor inherently harmful to the planet. the methods of fishing that have developed, and the scale of modern fishing are problems, but for me to choose to abstain from fish would not mitigate the situation.
