Alaska is not a sustainable fishery. It is an artifically created fishery using billions of hatchery fish to replace stocks that were fished out decades ago. Alaska slams salmon farming in Canada but raise their hatchery fish in farm pens for twelve months before releasing them to compete with real wild stocks for food in the open ocean.

who is the film sponsored by? i need to do a "report" about this movie for my class and one of the questions are this.......

[Alaskrab]

I watched this movie and was extremely disappointed. They only showed the bad side of things. They only showed the fisheries that are on the brink. At the very end they mentioned Alaska and how they are a model in fisheries management, but only spent a couple of minutes on it. People need to stay well informed. I am an Alaskan commercial fisherman, and Iam proud to feed the world through sustainable fisheries!

[Folkboat11]

@Alaskrab For "I am an Alaskan commercial fisherman, and Iam proud to feed the world through sustainable fisheries!" I am sure your are also proud that up to 41% of the salmon that Alaska exports has been raised on hatchery factory farms in plastic trays, fed pellets, held in open net pens for up to 12 months, then released into the wild. Alaska farms up to 1.5 billion salmon each year to sustain their fake wild salmon fishery. Keep waving the Red, White, and Blue. Keep on waving.

what song is playing in the beginning?!

[strikenetter]

Look at laws in Florida USA, the FWC requires fisherman to use net which have a 98 % bycatch rate !! Sustainable fishing laws imposed by those governing our fisheries ? I think not !!! Here in NC USA we are required to harvest bycatch, "unwanted" fish in order to sell certain species !

[JulieRebu07]

i sometimes wish we would run out so that the animals we kill will finaly stop to suffer

[strikenetter]

herring here in USA, north carolina have been taken from fisherman. The fishery is supposedly closed for sixteen years. They said overfishing, then they said pollution ! Funny, these fish spawn in the rivers north of my fishing grounds where pollution is growing !!! Overfishing isn't the only concern !

[Saligubung]

You are so right. Over fishing and Pollution. Both driven by consumption- by 'consumers'

[COpcionTV]

I live in the peninsule of yucatan in mexico, and the situation is very complicated, the octopus, shrimp has gone.

[zuluamuse]

I have been fishing for over 50 years, mostly in Africa. When one fished only rod and reel fisheries there were sustainable,supporting many coastal communities . Once the high tech trawling, longlining fleets (mostly from China, Korea, Japan) managed to bribe, corruptible officials for fishing rights many of these local African fisheries have collapsed. The only solution I see is a drastic global moratorium, that insists on all fishing to revert back to rod and reel, to allow stocks to recover.

[Icekool93]

you are right but fishing rods and reel aren't enough to substain a growing popultion whose diet is based on fish.

[Saligubung]

Totally agree.

[jerramy]

@zuluamuse  They are talking about setting aside areas of the worlds oceans off limits to fishing like national parks or nature reserves. How to police them? I don't know. Just try to stop an Asian from killing whales, dolphins, and scraping every last living thing off the bottom of the ocean.

[the300club]

why would a film maker want to be linked to a convenient film that was far from truthful ?

... maybe the US won't be the easy ones to blame in this film? over fishing is obviously a worldwide problem

[cri8tor]

Like cancer, the human species destroys its host. They will be the undoing of Earth as we know it and that will be the true apocalypse if such a thing could ever exist.

[Saligubung]

Not if we could stop it in a logical manner

[cri8tor]

@Saligubung

I agree with you, but it's very difficult to change the attitudes of so many ignorant humans.

[Saligubung]

I don't know- I was ignorant once too until the net came along and I got to watch videos about the truth about where our food comes from. I think though people are too busy with their lives to stop and think about 'where' all food comes from. From the oceans to the land, we are doing some ungodly things. Most people couldn't stomach killing a dolphin- or a pig- but continue to support mass commercial fishing and factory farms.

@Saligubung

You may already be aware of Ted com, but checkout Jamie Oliver's recent presentation and the comments left by others there. You may enjoy it.

Take care

Cri8tor - can you send me the link?
