Overfishing is causing tremendous environmental problems and pushing
certain aquatic species towards extinction. The more time goes by
without taking measures to reverse the damage caused to the environment,
the harder it will be to make things right in God’s creation. While
industrial fishing reduction is a good step toward conservation it still
causes suffering and affects marine ecosystems. The transition to a
plant-based diet could help restore the environment and alleviate animal
suffering in accordance to God’s love and compassion with all creatures
