But they do have a direct control over the fishing industry?

Direct control = if i could decide that the fishing boat doesnt go out tomorrow or how they do their fishing

Indirect control = i decide not to eat fish

You also only have indirect control over plastic straw production, but my point wasnt the "control over" part but the "let people have their small victories" part. If you actively harass people for doing good things, they will stop doing good things.

in this case quite a number of people would want plastic straws back because the paper straws has been bringing a significantly worse experience. So yeah they do want this good thing to stop.

What direct control do I have over the fishing industry?

Changing from buying their stuff to not buying it maybe?
