Hi. In what thing are you working now?

I believe in you. I know it's fiver years later and I hope you graduated. We need people like you

So how is the plant doing? Flowering yet?

***** Lol.... You're stupid and need to be quiet. Thanks.

though arrogant he's got a point. though I've never met a person whose never told a lie, when you're caught in one. all credibility is out the window because "mistakes" are no longer accepted, nor appreciated.:(..

***** if you listen closely to the film it says, MOST farmed fish.

***** if you listen even closer the film says, many of the farmed fish.

That's what I fear. Too many short-sighted people who don't look beyond their immediate life; they don't understand the serious implications of what is happening.

@Conner Podrez_3240324 Dwindling sea life is happening at an alarming rate.

We talk a lot about this in my environmental science classes. Personally, when I fish recreationaly I only keep fish if we'll eat them that same day.

Good practice! Mind you, sport fishing has a minuscule impact next to industrial scale extraction. By far the biggest issue is bycatch and quotas. You get the odd situations where a vessel has met its quota and has to chuck back good fish to avoid being fined. Or disposing of non-target fish because quotas have been exceeded or they just don't want it. Fish thrown back is usually dead, and the populations are getting hammered for nothing. We don't have a way of fishing selectively enough, and even if we did, how would we stop the older breeding populations being completely removed?

Totally agree. I know recreational fishing is a drop in the bucket, and many recreational fish are not commercially harvested, but I feel so guilty if fish sits in the freezer unused. That being said, fish fried tge same day they are caught are sooo delicious. On a side note, have you ever seen Disney's "Oceans" (narrated by Pierce Brosnan)? It's one of our favorites; very well done documentary with a segment on bycatch.

Mark Fletcher You highly underestimate just how many sports fishermen there are. Here in British Columbia they are finishing off the last of our rockfish stocks. These are fish with lifespans that can go up to 200 years. After spending the big bucks to go out salmon fishing, when they don't catch anything, they go fish out the local rockfish hole. It doesn't take long to wipe out a fish population when they can't reproduce fast enough to recover.

Roy Mulder I take your point! There are obviously fish species that are more prone to this kind of pressure - I'm uk based so I must confess the majority of my fishing and marine knowledge is based on this side of the pond! Are there protections in place for the rockfish? I may be wrong, but I think the Americans take their sport fishing more seriously than us - so please forgive my ignorance of the pressures (not sarcastically, literally). I would guess that the sports fishermen are taking the larger, more interesting species, too... the ones with little to no commercial value? It reminds me of the plight of the orange roughy - cursed with being both delicious and easy to catch en-masse, it was nearly wiped out because in the early days of exploiting the fishery they didn't appreciate how long lived they are. I forget exactly, but I think they don't start breeding until they're at least 20 years old, so it's remarkably easy to be left with a severely impacted population. Thankfully they realised just in time and strong controls have allowed recovery whilst fishing more sustainably. There is hope in that regard! (So long as everyone is on board... It's all very well (for example) the UK having decent and strong fishing policy and controls if other European boats aren't playing by the same rules)

Glad you like it, and if you class would like to take action to end EU overfishing, please encourage them to support, advocacy.pewtrusts.org/ea-action/action?ea.client.id=1793&ea.campaign.id=31718

+OCEAN2012EU hey I just saw your videoclip wow it just shocked me, I'm having a lecture about this for my fellow students. But Thats not why I'm here, I have a question, I just saw we reached like 81.000 signatures, but whats going to happen next? Because we reached the goal of 80.000 kind regards

If we could get commercial fishing stopped for 2 years the results would be amazing.

Put pressure on government is what they're saying

Set aside 20-30% of the whole ocean as full no-take marine sanctuaries.

I'm think no-take places exist but some people don't care. You could farm fish in large tanks that are overwhatched.

isn't that quite clear? Stop eating so much fish!! When there's no demand there is no need to fish to deliver to that demand. Logic sense really. Do you eat seafood?

you are an America?

@@NajCarnage As an Canada I can relate, brother...

Obviously the fishing industry has been hugging politicians if, as the video says, it is being subsidized.

just stop over eating and food waste then there will be no benifit from over fishing dont cut the tail of the salemandar cut its head off. with this u will just make hungry ppl

Fourq Nouw yeah, because just stopping people from overeating is that easy. Besides, it won't work. Even if it were possible to stop people overeating it would only delay the problem. If we did that the population would just grow even more until we hit the limit again, but with more poverty. Scientifically speaking, if we can't control our own population there is no way out of this. But putting limits on fishing is a good start.

Adam Chatfield so you are saying that you only eat fish?

No, I in no way insinuated that. That comment isn't even a valid point to make. Overeating is a genuine problem in terms of food production, but trying to control it is just unreasonable. By the way, in what way does eating only fish have anything to do with my previous comment?

+paul 88 *Humans are the worst thing to happen to humans. The planet will be just fine, it will just look different - with, or without us.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU GO TO THE IGNORANT SELFISH POLITICIANS and SPEAK OUT?

Awareness is key. Simply making people aware to this kind of thing has more impact. You have social media. Share links like these hoping other people will share it on.

Stand on your tallest mountain and scream

I believe a good place start in your area is NABU

start by example.. not preaching.. DOING.. go VeGan, for the planet, for the creatures, for the kids, for yourself~

Join an organization that is already working on this, there are no lack of them. Currently NABU is taking on the Hector dolphins in New Zealand. Start in a place that you are familiar with and have a passion for.

I think you'll more likely find the big fishing quota's have gone to larger fishing ships and businesses rather than the smaller community ones because they haven't been able to compete. I don't know where you live, but here in the UK, fish is not fine dining and quite a common meal.

:( i know humans, we are just evils

goodluck!

The solution is other people. They have to stop eat such high ammount of fish or else it won't work. Should they be forced to eat less if they can't restrict themselves? I think so, I don't see any other solution.

Because thats all anyone is really gonna do

love the name

@@Ephyria-rn7so thanks

+童小屁 Grammar! Grammar!

Yeah what is it

Yoloanda Why? One person that is allergic to it won’t change anything. You’re just missing the taste of fish in your life. People won’t fish less because of one person. You’d need over thousands of people to not eat fish to just change it a little.

Posting it on the Association "Scandinavian Wildlife" on FB.

There are long term implications you're ignoring. For example, the depletion of a certain fish population has an effect on both the fish they eat and the ones they're eaten by. By us artificially selecting which fish we eat this effects the entire population of sea life. We have more an affect that you think.

rza1m No matter how hard we try to destroy it, Life will go on.

Jung ian That may be true, but it won't include us..

Precisely what I've been saying for goodness knows how long...the population has more than tripled since the 1950s...hence, the increased consumption etc. If there were only 2 billion people on the planet, overfishing would be a non issue.

Snakebloke In fairness the modernization of farming since the 1950s has allowed us to support more people. I think you could support 3 and maybe even 4 billion people without seriously damaging the environment when you consider the new clean technologies coming online and a focus on effective recycling. But I'm only arguing over the exact number with you, the important point as you say is the problems that overpopulation is causing. The sad thing is that when you raise this issue people will throw labels like "Nazi" at you, even though there is no mention of race, no mention of killing anyone etc.

Laughing Achilles I've never been accused of being a 'Nazi' per se, but I have been attacked by devoutly religious people, who insist that 'God' intended for the planet to be in the state it is now...which is a theory that I cannot, and will not ever, comprehend...

Snakebloke It depends which religion you're dealing with of course and even sects within individual religions. Christians will fall into two major groups on this issue, those who think that humans are the shepherds of the Earth and so we should look after it and the other group who are awaiting the end of the world and so think that it doesn't matter what we do. I'm an atheist so it's all bullshit in my eyes but within their belief system it's a logical position.

Overpopulation is not a problem by itself. Our stupid wasteful lifestyle is a problem. The example of shrimp fishing is a good example: to put the stupid shrimp somebodies posh table we kill 9 kg. of marine life. The same applies to other resources: water waste in agriculture, veggie waste in supermarket distribution, soil degradation by extensive agriculture. And many other ways we waste resources, just for the sake generating money. Money is generated by more attractive, good looking, exotic food that consumer craves. Global food production is not a belly problem after all, its the fancy taste problem. Limiting population will not help if people want to live american, wasteful lifestyle. We all have to become happy with local foods, smaller variety, all sourced sustainable. It is possible, if only governments cared about good laws and executing them.
