How to Solve Overfishing - Part 2 of 2

Chef Dan Barber squares off with a dilemma facing many chefs today: how to keep fish on the menu. With impeccable research and deadpan humor, he chronicles his pursuit of a sustainable fish he could love, and the foodie's honeymoon he's enjoyed since discovering an outrageously delicious fish raised using a revolutionary farming method in Spain.

Great video. However i somewhat disagree becuase if this was persued we would basically create an ocean, on land. Why make a body of whater when most of the earth is water. Its simple, we need to clean up the oceans and do things properly there where its naturally occuring

Fish farms contain more neurotoxins than wetlands at a scale of 10000:1.

Wetland ecosystems are the obvious solution if we don't want to have backward sliding brain stem disfunction.

Wetlands contain huge amounts of resources for mankind. 10,000s of fish species use them for nurseries and protection.  More importantly they are vital ecosystems that maintain numerous species vital to the complex interrelated food chain of the planet. I agree permaculture is an excellent start however, if we can get the corporations/governments of the world to promote them appropriately.

@Lymeebinns Wetlands may have a closed loop environment that creates lots of food but not much of it is of use to Humans. Although i do believe Humans should mimic natures examples because they are the most efficient, have low inputs and are sustainable. Ive been studying permaculture a lot more since i wrote that comment.

@hablerz

That my friend is because you obviously know nothing about wetlands (which produce more 'foodstuffs' than we can in a sustainable fashion), and the title is very accurate because aquaculture is supposed to be a solution to overfishing. Unfortunately it's mismanaged and is generally a huge problem.

Slightly misleading title , i learned nothing. Wetlands are important but i dont see how they can produce enough foodstuffs.
