Do you know where the fish you are eating is coming from? Is it sustainable? Is it farmed? Is it on the endangered species list? Is it high in Mercury? These are questions that can easily be answered.
I discovered a wonderful source of information on sustainable fishing by watching the documentary film, "The End of the Line". It was quite a shock to say the least. Below is an excerpt that will give you an idea to what this film is about... Read on.
"The end of seafood by 2048
Scientists predict that if we continue fishing as we are now, we will see the end of most seafood by 2048.
The End of the Line chronicles how demand for cod off the coast of Newfoundland in the early 1990s led to the decimation of the most abundant cod population in the world, how hi-tech fishing vessels leave no escape routes for fish populations and how farmed fish as a solution is a myth.
The film lays the responsibility squarely on consumers who innocently buy endangered fish, politicians who ignore the advice and pleas of scientists, fishermen who break quotas and fish illegally, and the global fishing industry that is slow to react to an impending disaster.
The End of the Line points to solutions that are simple and doable, but political will and activism are crucial to solve this international problem."
