Who: Save Our Shores, FishWise, Ocean Conservancy, Greenpeace, New Leaf Community Market and Assemblymember Bill Monning
Imagine an ocean without fish. Imagine your meals without seafood. Imagine the global consequences. This is the future if we do not stop, think and act.
The End of the Line is the first major feature documentary film revealing the impact of overfishing on our oceans. In the film we see firsthand the effects of our global love affair with fish as food. It examines the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna, the impact on marine life resulting in huge overpopulation of jellyfish and the profound implications of a future world with no fish that would bring certain mass starvation. Watch the trailer.
