Did you know that the fish you are eating -- and the fish those fish are eating -- are in danger of disappearing? The oceans have always been humanity's single largest source of protein, but for the first time in history this critical food supply is at risk in many areas of the world. A new documentary by Habitat Media, Empty Oceans, Empty Nets, examines the alarming global decline of marine fisheries, as well as efforts underway to sustain and restore them.
The documentary presents riveting images revealing the immense scale of the global fishing effort. Fishermen and experts in the film discuss declines of fish populations, and testify to the importance of fisheries to seafood consumers, fishing communities, and to the hundreds of millions of people in food deficient countries who depend on seafood as a primary source of protein.
