"Today, when we evaluate the fish population, we still talk in tons, not in number of individuals . This is something we don't do with any other animal! We talk about fish in terms of stocks. This is serious! This is what fuels this view that we must change. The ocean is not a warehouse with goods that we must manage! It is a living environment that we must respect, for ethical reasons but also more selfishly for our own survival."
