If somehow someone hasn’t seen this, they are in for a treat.

The environment can handle dead fish. We just don't want it doing that near the humans because it's smelly. Dumping fermented fish wouldn't be like dumping crude oil.

The "environment" can handle basically anything given the right conditions and timescale. It's very much 'the dose makes the poison' here, too (eg. how stormwater ponds help protect watersheds from road salt runoff, but often themselves become far too saline to sustain the same ecosystem as the watershed). So while you're not wrong, none of what you commented really means anything. It's a broad assertion without any foundation of context.

The solution to pollution is dilution.

Certain types of pollution. If it biodegrades and less than a million tonnes are being dumped in total, dilution probably works. This is the case here. However you still don't want it anywhere near human settlements because it stinks

Or dump it in a volcano.

What's out there?

amiga386 13 hours ago | parent | next [-]

    Nothing's out there!
Well there must be something out there.

    There is nothing out there - all there is is sea and birds and fish.
And?

    And 20,000 tons of crude oil.
And what else?

    And fire.
And anything else?

    And the part of the ship that the front fell off.

And 900k litres of fish sauce.

More environment

The only winning move is to pay for an academic lab to crank out enough papers that the government can agree with your lobbyists and declare your preferred dumping ground "not the environment" while retaining plausible deniability.
