The End of the LineRupert Murray

Charles Clover, journalist at The Daily Telegraph and author of “The End of the Line”, guides us through this documentary, revealing the disastrous impact of overfishing on our oceans. In only a couple of decades, ocean life has seen a huge change. Cod is as good as gone, and the bluefin tuna is dangerously close to being extinct. This was brought on by an increasing western appetite for sushi, making tuna more high in demand than ever before. If the world continues consuming fish as it is now, scientists predict, most the seafood we know will be gone by 2048. Oceans will be filled with alges, plankton, worms and a huge overpopulation of jellyfish. This will endanger our entire ecosystem, to the point of mass starvation. Can we imagine a world without fish? And more importantly, do we even want to?
