Too true Ricky, this is something I notice too, I love fish, and remember cod the size of my arm being something boasted about, on the plate in Harry Ramsden's restaurants in UK, they are traditionally the classic fish and chip shop "Gone posh", but they are struggling now, the days of massive cod are long gone, what we have in the takeaway bag which is all we can afford now at nearly fifteen GBP per portion of fish and chips, is what looks like a baby fish, it's worrying. And what of all the folk already made bankrupt, they can't pay these prices for what was a poor person's meal, it is getting ridiculous.
It's ridiculous for a government to try to claim inflation is going down when money contains less and less energy, both in terms of what we eat, and what we have to pay for, to utilities energy supply companies.
There is a fix, we saw it once before, but only once, it was during covid lockdowns, when money was being issued as massive stimulus, oil prices went negative, and both fish and coral stocks made a little recovery.
I am sure we will see this again, sustained this time when we finally make the switch to solar indexed stimulus, but it will need to be done before loss of many more species, there has to be species for any recovery.
There is also in the solar hydrogen solution the capability of hydrogen to be converted to food (see Solein), which could remove a little of our load from the conventional food chain to allow the latter to recover, we should keep that in mind.
