Who's got their hands on all our fish?

4. Who will outlaw them, though? They trawl the open seas and are complete operations, that is,

They 'mine' and then process, freeze and sell at the ports they visit. Then the money goes into their offshore accounts. Everything they do is out of the public eye. The use their private ships, fly in private planes, build their mansions in tax-free countries, using temporary labor with no clout. They incorporate in countries which don't demand regulation or any oversight. I suspect this is the same type as the shipping magnates of Greece that don't pay taxes.

Some make the 'fish stick' products. A person I know associated with it, warned me to never eat any of that, but it's fed to school children. He said the operations that do it literally scrape the ocean floor, and take in everything, and most of what is in them is not the fish they advertise. They grind and bleach it on-board and then bread it to sell.

As far as I know, it's legal when they're outside national fishing boundaries. But all the fish, save those farmed, are from the ocean for them to take, and they depend on cheap labor to do their dirty deeds for them. I think that only Occupy can stop this with their global focus. Okay, now I've gone and depressed myself.
