"If you want to maintain a sustainable supply of fish you have to farm the fish, rather than mine them. So putting your money into fishing fleets that are going to exacerbate the problem by over-fishing is not the way to preserve the underlying asset"

Maurice Strong is recommending that in order to keep a sustainable supply of fish, it is necessary to farm them instead of extract them. He is alerting against buying fishing fleets that will only worsen the issue of over-fishing. He is emphasizing the significance of maintaining the hidden asset, which is the fish populace. He is suggesting that purchasing angling fleets is not the way to do this, as it will just cause more exhaustion of the fish populace. He is advocating for a more sustainable technique to angling, such as farming, in order to make sure that the fish populace is not over-exploited. By buying sustainable angling techniques, we can make sure that the fish population is managed and that we can preserve a sustainable supply of fish.
