Smear Campaign against fishing
Posted: Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:59 am
Here is a link to an article put out by the BBC. An environmentalist group called Oceana has used data taken from the AIS collision avoidance electronic vessel monitoring system to create a "Global Fishing Watch" map.

The article tells the reader to "think about what you see here before you order fish next time you sit down in a restaurant".
Oh, they pay lip service to the legal fishing feet, but their overarching message leads the reader to believe "industrialized" fishing is depleting the oceans.
And most readers won't read the article as critically as you and I will. The images will stick in their minds and they will come away with the vague notion that it is unethical to order fish in a restaurant. This is an example of how electronic monitoring information from a good, yet mandatory, program is bastardized to be used against us. And then a very carefully crafted propaganda program is deployed to snidely mislead the public.
