Overfishing: “The end of the line”

“The end of the line” is a documentary, awarded in the last issue of the Sundance Festival, that deals with the devastating effects of overfishing at the moment.
The documentary is based in the book with the same name written by the well known environmental journalist Charles Clover. The documentary is an attention calling for the whole community and features top scientists, indigenous fishermen and fisheries enforcement officials. Alarming data is highlighted such us the imminent extinction of bluefin tuna and the consquent rise in jellyfish population, the main prey for tuna. Even more serious scenarios are considered like the scientific prediction that if we continue fishing as we are now, we will see the end of most seafood by 2048.
