Imagine a World Without Fish

Director Rupert Murray says, "The End of the Line tells the almost unbelievable story of how our oceans all over the world are being systemically emptied of fish, a process that could be complete by the middle of this century... This not just an environmental issue. This is a people issue. It affects everyone on the planet... The first step in becoming aware is to watch The End of the Line, tell as many people as possible, the second step is buy only sustainably caught seafood. The third step is to join the growing number of voices calling for large "no take' zones in the sea. A world without fish is something no one in their right mind wants to see."

The Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch is a great source of information about ocean issues and sustainability. Check out their Super Green List to learn which sustainable foods from the ocean are highest in Omega-3 EFAs, supplying at least the minimum daily amount of 250 mg.

Use the Seafood Watch widget to find out what fish you should and should not be eating. People taking action can make a difference. You can increase the chance that the tide of destruction caused by over fishing will be turned around. Our oceans are in crisis, so, please send the widget and information about the movie The End of the Line to as many of your friends as you can!
