Nice attempt to illuminate the most important issues in fisheries and aquaculture ...even if some important facts aren't mentioned. Definitely worth watching! I give a thumbs up for a pretty good executed broadcast! ps. I m an aquaculture scientist =)
I would love to be around when the humanity ends; to be the only man left on the planet and watch nature come back to life; fill the oceans and seas and the forests to be in bloom. It would take thousands of years to fix the damage we've done, but just to over-look and live those years, then slowly let myself wither away knowing that everything is going to be OK; what a wonderful fantasy.
this problem is not unique to the sea, economists call it "the tragedy of the commons." It results from the fact that fisherman have no ability to "own" their fishing grounds. If fisherman could own their fishing grounds than they would have incentive to maintain the health of their ecosystems in order to preserve its value. When they can not own their fishing grounds they compete to extract every last drop of value as quickly as possible before someone else gets there first.
I completely cut out fish & seafood out of my diet after watching it. I have this documentary, and I watched it one day over Christmas. It scared me half to death, because I really want to become an environmentalist or a marine biologist.
Thank you for making this Film. We need to be aware of what "We" are doing. Are we merely continuing to sow havoc ?? This is innutterably SAD. MAN seems to be. basically, stupid and blind.
It's not about cutting seafood off completely. Just be aware of where the fish comes from. I live in Finland, and it's completely okay to eat fish from our own waters. It's the great seas that are running off fishes, and not only because of fishing, but polluting. Wh
@mashabi6 unfortunately you are correct, and it's probably to late to save them...it's like the re-make of Day the Earth Stood Still/ where Keanu Reeves sez, "if humans live, the earth dies...if humans die, the earth lives" and that's pretty much where we are headed, extinction of our own species due to willful ignorance, and it won't be pretty going down!
always the money, it brakes the rules, we are running out of fish, i have a seafood restaurant here in mexico,i buy the seafood and then sale it in my restaurant, one of my providers says that it is actually less fish every year, says: is because we are finishing it up, to many companys, not getting by the rules, not letting the fish rest and procreate again" this is the only thing i know to do, to have a seafood restaurant, my family had it since 1976 and the future seems bad with this case
In the big picture it has been the Sportsman who have tried to call attention to the need to save the wild environment. FYI to the environmentalists and preservationists, Sport Fishermen are not your enemy in this fight. We follow the regs. The Waste & Gluttony of the industrial fishing machines is the big problem. No attention to the reproductive biomass needed for a healthy sustainable resource. We need international cooperation and economic buy in from those interests. IMHO Keith L
Terrifying times, I do hope people insist on sustainably sourced seafood, it's the least you can do. WWF publishes a list on what's 'green', 'orange' and 'red'-listed, 'green' being the best option. I will not eat anything on the 'orange' or 'red' list and only consume fish at most twice in a month to cut down on my footprint. It all starts with you!
@elioke don't say that you're not responsible. I hate when anyone regardless vegan or not takes a standpoint like "Oh not my fault". We're all responsible. Just because you're not eating fish yourself, doesn't mean you're not responsible. We can all do more, (ie. protesting) and regardless of who's responsible, the blame game won't matter if the fish become extinct...all of the world will suffer, vegan or not.
If everyone was vegetarian, that would just lead to another set of problems. There's only so much land for farming, and we/humas are taking up too much of that land as it is. The real problem is too many people and mismanagement of the food we have.
me, i'm NOT responsible ! So glad to be vegan Just do it ! U can still eat spaghetti, frites, sorbet ice cream, vegan hamburgers/ nuggets / fishsticks of REDWOOD The seamammels and fish can't wait any longer ....can't U see by now ....
Wow. Seeing how I am a Spanish citizen who has lived half of his life in America, that makes no sense. Ergo, "WE as westerners." And where does "mature" fit in? Last time I checked, if you're referring to my age, I'm actually YOUNGER than you. If you're referring to my state of mind, then "mature idiot" is an oxymoron. And if it's supposed to be sarcasm, then it's just shitty sarcasm. Oh... and also... humans DON'T eat every animal. Please, go back to PETA. They'll care. Read before replying.
Wha? Oh yeah, let me tell you. The dog and cat population is really dwindling. OK, we as westerners don't like it, but when you really look at it, it's meat. Just good old meat. The West just decided for some reason that this was meat that we should dominate, train, and keep to our side. They chose to go the eating route. Big deal. Oh, and by the way, the concept of cat and dog meat being used in food doesn't mean every fucking Asian in the world eats them. That's just good old racism.
@MichaelBallack91 . Like it or not - i'm not the one to blame by being vegan AND an activist for animals/ nature for more than 20 years .....Excelly U are ! by being a so called human being with brains and still eating products and fish nevertheless knowing the facts ....U can wait and talk about issues or act ! that's the difference between U and me

"People say where have all the fish gone? Where are they? We have eaten them!" Classic quote. The ocean has limits, and we've exceeded them.
Nice attempt to illuminate the most important issues in fisheries and aquaculture ...even if some important facts aren't mentioned. Definitely worth watching!
I give a thumbs up for a pretty good executed broadcast!
ps. I m an aquaculture scientist =)
I am a recreational fisherman and this movie really opened my eyes!
awesome! I also enjoy seeing that quite a few big organisaitons got together for this campaign. Very special....
I rented this film almost by accident, but found it both fascinating and disturbing - its a must see.
Excellent film. I got it by accident from Netflix so it was pleasant surprise. Should be a cult classic.
After Fucashima I have not touched a thing from the oceans...Corexit and Fucashima made my mind up.

@freeradicals they feed more fish like anchovies to the fish in the farm than the amount of fish they get out of it

He probably doesn't eat seafood. A sea without fish will put seafood lovers in pain.

Where have all the fish gone? We have eaten them. It brings tears to my eyes.

The fish in your name is endangered.
Sustainability V's Greed.... Who do you think will win????????

@mnpoo2 Greenpeace is one of the best organisations in the world. You're right, it would be a far poorer would without them.

@gpay88

I hope that the Film is well received ... good luck !!
