Summary: An individual is urging the agency to prioritize the protection of marine life and the prevention of animal suffering within the sanctuary. They argue that fishing is cruel and unnecessary, calling for a management plan that ensures the sanctuary is a safe haven for all sea creatures.
Please do your best to protect all the fishes and other sea creatures that are living in this Sanctuay. Please protect these animals from destruction and harm and help this sanctuary to be a true place of safety for all these sea animals. Please stop killing the poor fish and leave them in peace. People don't need to eat fish, so please leave them alone. Please protect the fish instead, and do not torture and/or kill the fish anymore. Fishing does cause pain for fish. Recent studies reflect this discovery of fish actually experiencing pain. So, it would make sense that fish feel pain when being pierced with a hook or dying of asphyxia when taken out of the water. It's just cruel. Please check out the links below. All this killing is unnecessary, so please put an end to it. Fishing already inflicts massive pain on the fish species as is along with also harming/killing many Marine Mammals to top it off. Please protect all the Fishes and other Sea creatures in this Marine Sanctuary, because they are all precious and beautiful and they deserve protection just as other animals do.
