#2If 46% of the Pacific garbage patch is fishing nets doesn't that make it easier to clean up?
Some of the nets will have disintegrated but surely some must have large pieces of them intact?
All the photos of the patch I've seen tend to be individual plastic items - bottles, cups etc. – so wondering if anyone's seen different
EDIT: Found this https://mymodernmet.com/ocean-voyages-institute-great-pacifi... the majority of 103 tons dredged up were fishing nets etc.

#3There has been a swift resonse to deny it by the "industry" with a little help from Nytimes and all.Yet,as a journalist, the guy asked the questions yet no one has given him in the documentary any comment.Now they are responding to public opinion.BBC's Reality Check team looked into some of the main claims in the Seaspiracy film on Netflix and most of them are somewhat accurate. https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/world/440156/fact-check-on-netfli...

#4Discrediting has been a great way to shut down people.
Professors posting about research on tobacco were also discredited by big tobacco. This wouldnt be the first time !!

#5Is anything preventing us from just getting a line of cargo ships and loading up the patch to be processed on-shore? Currently many ships are being sent empty due to supply issues.

#7"Others have argued it oversimplifies a complex issue - many communities depend on fishing for their livelihoods and for food, and are in fact practising sustainable catching methods."
I guess this pretty much answers the question whether seaspiracy film is correct or not. People are trying to justify as if industry care about sustainable catching methods? Really? And there is common practise "The Solution to Pollution is Dilution" and there is no easy way to find how much industry is damaging ocean I bet its more than what Netflix Seaspiracy shows.
Imho Industry is more about earning $ rather than sustainable thing and most of the time the sustainable things are marketing PR strategy.
Remember Sugar Industry? Tobacco Industry? Looks like similar strategy this time too.

#9I think this is really good documentary. An eye-opening one that changed my view about eating fish (also i will try avoid it). Anyone should watch this and make an opinion on sea fishing, plastic waste and so on.. Highly recommend :)

#10Generally we believe that Malthusianism is now in the trash heap of mistaken ideas.
A lot of people miss that even today close to a billion people are starving and close to half the world population doesn’t get all the nutrients they need for a normal life expectancy.
And ecology is already at the brink of collapse. As people around the world adopt more “first world” eating habits I doubt much of the earth will be left.
We may have to manage the entire ecosystem at some point and use robots to pollinate our plants. The earth will go from being an ecosystem to being a hotel for humans.
