Industrial Fishing

Most people don’t like to think of the oceans as being in peril. It’s much nicer to think of them as self-sustaining. There still seems to be plenty of fish. I can get sushi whenever I want. Heck, I can even buy takeout sushi boxes at any 7 Eleven or Trader Joe’s. The World Wildlife Fund reports there are half the number of fish in the ocean as there was 50 years ago. That would be 1970. So, it would be helpful to the pretty ocean if we all cut down on the number of fish that’s consumed. So instead of daydreaming about how full the ocean is of endless schools of fish, think more about the glass being half empty. Watch the documentary, SEASPIRACY on Netflix starting March 24th.
