Brave New Ocean - Lecture by Dr. Jeremy Jackson, UCLA

"if you don't kill fish there are more fish"

[unkleskratch]

ocean floor trawling/ bottom dredging should be banned outright- we have absolutely no idea what the overall long term effects are. When you kick the bottom rung out of the food chain, what happens further up?

[KaisKites]

This is conviction at an incredible level. Also incredibly interesting and also obviously incredibly sad and disturbing.

all of the pictures in this speech have a blur on them... why is that?

[whatisbestinlife]

@mongolelf The pictures themselves might be copywrighted, so UCLA's lawyers hedged their bets and blurred them out for this youtube posting.

The Death of Nature Has Arrived.

How's that for a hip hop title?

niijiifilms,

It appears the slides have been deliberately blurred. I'm guessing it's some kind of copyright issue. Too bad.

you can eat fish in a sustainable way....fish is good for healtg, and some people are very pessimistoc, not all is that bad..and i am a marine biologist by the way...

[MetalboneL]

Can you explain how one would eat fish in a sustainable way? Thanks in advance.

@MetalboneL

If I breed fish in a 100 gallon fishtank in my house for the soul purpose of eating, is that not sustainable? It is. You are confused about the actual practice of eating fish and the intensive and reckless way in which most fish are harvested throughtout the World's Oceans.

[MetalboneL]

@asignature I am not confused, I just don't like to eat my pets... I think you are a poser.

[asignature]

@MetalboneL

neither do I..havnt eatin fish in 6 years. I was only providing an example in which fish could be sustainably eaten.. You seem too stupid to understand the broader point I was trying to make...That point being that being vegetarian or refraining from eating fish does little to address the problems that Jeremy describes...

[MetalboneL]

@asignature now now, just becuase your mama called you stupid all your life doesn't mean you have to project...

[niijiifilms]

This lecture is great. But I wish they'd edited in his slides: we're missing a lot.

[niijiifilms]

I'm glad to say i haven't eaten fish since 1992.
