Answer
Earle opposes factory ships because they employ a destructive fishing method known as "vacuuming up fish". These massive vessels can rapidly deplete fish populations by sweeping the ocean floor with nets that indiscriminately capture everything in their path, including juvenile fish and other marine life, leading to severe disruptions in marine ecosystems.
