And in EU, the French government just announced that it will "strongly oppose" forbidding deep ocean scrubbing nets in "protected areas" (which are therefore totally unprotected). They look like caricature villains from a comic book or something. Bonkers.

I think you posted the wrong link, that must be from Angola.

Is that some sort of racist comment? 30 seconds of Google search would've told you that he's a French citizen, speaking in the french senate in that video.

I was about to give him the benefit of a doubt, but literally 6 seconds in there is a French republic flag in the bottom left. No need to search on Google.

You have a history of posting thinly veiled racist comments.

The Dutch experimented with pulse fishing [0]. This had some good benefits for the sea and didn't seem to negatively impact the fishing industry over here much. It was banned again by the EU, according to some due to lobbying on behalf of other countries that were afraid they'd have to start investing in it too.

This doesn't look like a significant advance in sustainability, rather in fishing efficency; a "better" sustainability score doesn't mean it's sustainable. In the same way that replacing coal with nat. gas doesn't solve global warming.

Someone thought building a giant taser and electrocuting everything on the seabed was a good idea.

If it doesn't destroy the plants too, it probably ~is better for the ecosystem than what it's replacing, but if aliens come and start dragging electrocution nets over human cities to electrocute us all, we won't be able to say we didn't have it coming.
