Grasping at Plastic Straws?

I must admit to having some sympathy with George Monbiot's view that bodies, like the BBC, 'direct us away from the massive commercial assaults on our life support systems' (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/apr/07/seaspiracy-earth-oceans-destruction-industrial-fishing). Monbiot basically contrasts Ali and Lucy Tabrizi's Netflix hit 'Seaspiracy' (spoiler alert: he contributed), with BBC 'environmental' output such as 'Blue Planet 2' and 'Blue Planet Live'. He claims that, although 'Seaspiracy' has some minor errors, it did place the blame for ocean destruction on the industrialised fishing industry. The BBC output, by contrast, he says notes the problems but points no fingers. Monbiot also accuses the BBC of what he calls 'Microconsumerist Bollocks' (MBC). MBC, he says, is a tendency to focus attention on trivial items like replacing plastic straws. It's also suggesting that the problems of plastics in the seas, can be solved by beach cleaning (rather than by needed changes in the plastics industries). The problem for the BBC, however, is that their programme productions are supported by the annual licence fee. The BBC would be likely to get serious pressure from government and others, if they overtly attacked commercial interests. The fishing industry and major oil companies appear to be off-limits? Monbiot notes that only around 6% of marine fish stocks can be described as being neither 'fully fished' nor 'overfished'. This means that, almost 94% of fish stocks have problems. His point that, fish should be treated as wildlife rather than seafood, is well made. Fish are not a 'crop', in the sense, that they can be endlessly exploited. I also agree that the status of many marine reserves is a joke, when they are heavily fished. I do, however, admit to having some sympathy for the BBC. Their programmes at least increase people's appreciation of the natural world. Sometimes, the finger of blame is strongly hinted at.
