The point is that there are 8 billion people on the planet, and no amount of personal responsibility will resolve the problem. Legislation and enforcement are the only way to resolve this issue.
stopping people from fishing. you could take their nets or boats or sabotage them somehow. protest on the dock so they can’t go fishing. I’m sure you can come up with something that’s effective.
what do you mean?
I mean did you try not eating fish to stop the fishing.
I stopped eating fish to reduce the over all consumption of fish. yes.
… did fishing decrease?
I don’t really understand your point.
If I am not buying fish then even by a miniscule amount the demand has decreased.
scale it up and you have your answer.

Why not both? But in the meantime, I’m going to deny my money to the industry.
That’s great! Keep up the good fight. But unfortunately we need a more robust solution to actually solve the problem.
Until you come up with a more robust solution I would recommend removing your capital from the system that is destroying the world.
Cheers!
if the global fishing hasn’t decreased due to your tactic, then another tactic might be necessary
what would you suggest?

you are welcome to do that. some of it is illegal.
I’m happy to remove my capital and boycot the system.
Boycotts have traditionally been both ridiculed and effective.
