Movie Reviews of The End of the Line
Movie Review: The global collapse of fisheries
Summary: 5 Stars
There was so much cod in Canada it was said you could walk on its back. Overfishing led to its extinction. More than 40.000 fishermen lost their jobs. Despite the moratorium imposed in 1992 the cod isn't coming back. Extinguishing a species is an *irreversible process*.
In general, the global sea catch peaked in 1988. Industrial fishing methods will produce the collapse of all fisheries by 2048, following scientists interviewed in this documentary.
Apart from the extinction of the cod in Canada, other examples of the signs on the wall will be shown. If you also want to see how those huge amounts of tuna are caught, 150 tons of them each time the nets are hauled, check it out on the DVD Wild Pacific. The tuna in the Atlantic is nearly extinct and the fishing fleets are now driving tuna to extinction in the Pacific.
We are definitively living the age of stupid (Age of Stupid (2pc)). Fishermen are aware of the dwindling fish populations, but won't accept their guilt. Fishermen all over the world blame *other species* for the collapse of the fisheries. Each year, Japan kills 1.000 whales (Whale Wars: Season 2) and 23.000 dolphins (The Cove), blaming *them* for eating the fish. Canada still massacres seals (see it for yourself : The Whale Warrior: Pirate for the Sea), blaming *them* to eat cod.
What will be left for our children, then, in 2048 ? Sterile oceans. Algae and jellyfish will thrive. This will be our heritage...
What is even more frustrating is that the solutions are so simple. We would just have to declare a minimum of 20 % of the ocean area as no-fish area, so fish can reproduce there. And fish quotas should be imposed AND enforced. Then we could easily have sustainable fisheries.
This is an important video to become aware of an "invisible" problem that will affect us all in the near future.
