Yes.

1. stop overfishing by switching to plant based diets

2. stop fishing ... even fish we don't fish, but decimate (as bycatch) will rebound

3. stop fishing ... there won't be as much plastic to entangle fish, mammals and turtles (49% of great pacific garbage patch is fishing nets)

4. stop animal ag ... minimize agricultural runoff from farms and fields to stop creating dead zones in the ocean

5. stop animal ag ... use technology to reforest pastures and store all excessive carbon in them

6. reform agriculture ... use technology to improve ag methods and improve our soils, storing even more carbon in them

7. stop fossil fuels

8. give nature time to repair itself

9. enjoy healthy ecosystems, saved for future generations

Or explain the scorched earth to your children.

Cool. That sounds tough, though. Do you have any solutions where I can do nothing? How about innovation? /s

> 1. stop overfishing by switching to plant based diets

Switching to fish raised in fish farms in the open ocean / fresh water fish raised in farms (which are often local) should already be a large improvement, even if it isn't optimal, especially right now when those captive fish are fed fish caught in open waters.

Also hope you like mussels and clams, because raising those in farms has little ecological impact and might actually reduce net CO2 by sequestering it in their shells.

Given that mussels and clams filter and clean the water, I'll pass.
