What do you propose the fishermen who survive solely from fishing do?
Be provided government jobs through programs designed to eliminate fishing as an industry, perhaps through infrastructure that would also allow their communities to get produce shipments that would alleviate their communities from needing fishing to sustain themselves.
Eliminating these people's jobs without some action to lift them out of the poverty that keeps them tied to them is not necessary.
very cheap source of protein compared to meat,
Fish is meat, and phasing out the consumption and stripping of fish from our oceans and waterways should also come with government assistance to provide those people with an alternative nutritional food source, which we have an abundance of but currently feed to the farmed animals to cultivate meat.

This would be great of course, but the problem is capitalist governments don't really care about their people, and these people, thanks to their poverty are completely alienated from the political process, they have no voice, they have no power, they cannot change the government.
Luckily a capitalist government is unlikely to make the move of banning all fishing, so there wouldn't be a situation where we do one without the other.
I'd say focusing on lifting people from poverty would always be the priority as a government moves left, so by the time we got to addressing animal rights and ecological damage we'd have given these people a viable alternative in their communities.

Ok now I understand what you are saying, it's an aspirational goal not an immediate one. That's great 👍 .
If we fight hard enough they can all be immediate goals. :solidarity:
