We are the oceans

Whether we eat fish or not, we are directly affected by the state of the oceans. Yet, we continue to overfish our waters and spew toxins and garbage into our rivers, lakes and oceans with little thought to the consequences to the planet and our health.

In this interview with David Suzuki, he chronicles his life-long connection with fish—from his first childhood memory of fishing with his father to the salmon derbies of Vancouver's past. Within his lifetime, David has seen enormous changes to our waters and many of his favourite fishing spots have disappeared. He once fished for sturgeon on B.C.'s Fraser River and halibut, flounder and salmon off of Vancouver's shores—an abundance that he took for granted and which seems unimaginable to younger generations.

The thing about the ocean is that many of the creatures in it are lower on the food chain than those on land. A decrease of sea life will result in the loss of food for various land species. Similarly the destruction of corals will result in changes in the majority of sea life. My step father, a boater, stated that american vessels coming from Alaska wait until they are in Canadian waters to dump their toxic chemicals because we don't have the policing along the shoreline that the US does.
