MIT researchers developed water-resistant, food-grade microneedles that could be used to vaccinate farmed fish. The technology could help prevent disease outbreaks that cause substantial losses in aquaculture.
The thing is: A lot of that stuff isn’t going to happen any time soon and factory fishing is happening - it is a reality. Reducing the harm it causes still seems like a net good to me.
I understand where you are coming from, I just think that harm reduction in a system that will still cause harm is the wrong way to achieve change. I guess it is just two different ways to tackle a problem.
If you can figure out a way to get things to actually change, great, but the problem is that doesn’t seem to be happening. Ultimately: Mitigating is better than not mitigating, at least until people find a way to truly shift to a more sustainable means.
