Antarctic whales’ remarkable comeback is threatened by krill fishing Huge industrial trawlers are competing for krill – the main food source for whales – in the Southern Ocean, removing vital nutrients from the ecosystem

"In the Southern Ocean, whalers slaughtered more than 2 million whales during the 20th century, pushing a number of species to the brink."

The fuel required for large, petrol-powered boats is subsidized. These subsidies are funded through taxes and ultimately enrich oil companies. Banks only lend money to fishermen who use industrial fishing methods. All industrial fishermen around the world catch the same fishes in the same locations, under the same conditions and are dependent on oil. The abundance of energy (oil) and subsidy rules have led to widespread purchases of trawlers for pelagic net fishing. This method involves hauling in all marine life and keeping only those that generate profit. This fishing practice has become widespread and is used in unsuitable locations. Fish or marine animals caught that do not meet the desired criteria (sizes and species) are discarded dead into the sea or ocean. There is indeed overfishing. Some boats engage in dredging in unsuitable environments, scouring up everything on the seabed or ocean floor. They leave nothing alive in their wake. These are acts of ecocides. They destroy resources. This approach is short-sighted because fishes and other living organisms cannot reproduce. This directly threatens food security. Today, a large portion of the fish caught is used to feed chickens and pigs. Prior to the widespread availability of fuel subsidies, a greater diversity of fishing methods existed, each adapted to different environments, seabeds, and fish species. These methods were far more environmentally friendly. It is imperative to stop subsidizing industrial fishing and reinvest in more sustainable traditional fishing techniques, which ensure the reproduction of species, protect the environment, and avoid waste. This would cost taxpayers far less. Fishing should be reduced, limited to feeding humans, and the practice of feeding livestock with fish flour should be put to an end. Industrial fishermen do not have a better standard of living than in the past. They are drowning in debt. They no longer have the freedom to choose their working methods due to th…

The fish on your plate is not the only one who died when catched.

We are committing large scale #ecocide instead of being grateful to living on this beautiful planet.

Ways of seeing on a dying planet: photography and the design of ecocide This article weaves together a transnational visual history of the use of herbicides in war. I trace the photographic analysis of herbicidal warfare as it was employed as a tactic of colonial repre...

“The British treated their colonies as test labs for these new synthetic poisons.

The development of pesticides has a lot to do with how we define or perceive the term, pest. ‘Past’ encompasses many kinds of beings: plants, animals, & humans.” #Ecocide

"The committee weighs whether the benefits from a project outweigh the continued existence of protected wildlife.

It’s tragic that the Rice’s whale, which has lived in this planet’s oceans for millions of years, could now go extinct because of a small man’s petty indifference”

Derweil in Gaza:

Israel hat einen Abwasserdamm zum Wadi Gaza hin geöffnet.
#genocide #ecocide

Hier ist es Abwasser, im Libanon der großflächige Einsatz von weißem Phosphor. Israel betreibt eine Politik der verbrannten Erde, um die 🇵🇸 + 🇱🇧 Bewohner aus ihrer Heimat zu vertreiben.
