Corporate boards dedicated to maximizing short term profit (20 years is still short term compared to the deep time we should be encouraging the human race to thrive) are sowing the seeds of our destruction.. In the current free market where we pay almost nothing for the actual substance of any natural resource, only for the cost of extraction, it makes more sense to rake the oceans clean of any edible food source and then scrap the fleet and move on to some other money maker, than to reduce profits and manage the fisheries to remain sustainable for thousands or millions of years.
