As an individual, how do we tackle this?

Already don't eat fish.

Go vote! (for a political party that does care about these issues)

OK, but what if we actually want to help and not offer "thoughts and prayers".

As an individual? Start a worldwide movement that puts governments like the US and china under pressure.
Everything else would not make any difference here, the change needs to be implemented by governments. 1 person not eating fish or helping to clean up beaches wont change a thing in the grand scale. Political activism is the only thing that helps
