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.

The film will be introduced by our Assemblymember Bill Monning, a supporter of sustainable fisheries who recently sponsored and helped pass bill AB 1217 to support the certification and marketing of sustainable California fisheries.  The film will be followed by a panel discussion on fisheries issues with local experts in science, policy, market based efforts and seafood entrepreneurship.  To finish off the evening, we will have a raffle with some great prizes from the organizations involved.

Tickets are $3, available at the door. Please join us for what is sure to be a great event for friends and family!
