Interesting views...

I would consider spearfishing as harvesting from the ocean, much like commercial outfits do or sport fishing from a boat. Just a different venue.

Are you opposed to that as well?


I am not against fishing, I enjoy the sport myself, it’s just that I have seen divers in the Mediterranean spear fishing and they harmed more fish than they hit and killed out-right.
 
When they missed the target the spear would hit the reef again this had a damaging affect on the environment. What I don’t know is how much experience they had spear fishing.
 
It is just my feelings based on what I have seen.
