James RickardThe end of the line??
August 25th 2011 20:18
Admittedly, the question marks were added by yours truly. Discounting this liberty, The End of the Line is a film which takes a sobering look at the effects of overfishing and offers solutions that may save our population.
The Rupert Murray film, based on British environmental journalist Charles Clover's book, shows the devastating effects that overfishing with modern technology is having on our oceans by using both under and above-water footage to show we are taking fish from the ocean faster than they can be replaced.
Although there is a definite bias, the documentary can still be a wake up call to problems people may not be aware of. For instance, according to the film, 50% of the cod harvested annually is illegal, how fish supplies can be down while national catches are up, and problems caused by trolling nets are observed.
As vast as the world's oceans are, it's hard to imagine we are slowly depleting fish supplies. Yet, in 90 sobering minutes the travesty of Man can be observed.
