A new Conservancy documentary follows a group of fishers who make their living from the depleted waters of Jamaicas Pedro Bank as they discover Belizes teeming reefs. Jamaica is the most over-fished country in the Caribbean and the Pedro Bank is the only place where people can still eke out a living from fishing, but — if management practices don't change — this will be the last generation to make its living from the sea. Can the fishers save their reef and their way of life?

  • looks good....

  • No doubt the video content is all reality. We are aware of the problems. Now is the time for action, we need to take decisive and precise action. I agree with a three sprang approach, Education, phased enforcement and finally Zero tolerance.

  • This is a really good video. I agree with JeanGowans that there are a few instances where subtitles may have been necessary. You can do a test run with a few non-natives and see if they understand fully. I think the Pedro Cays should be temporarily closed, but all interests should be made aware at least 5 years in advance so they make necessary alternatives. Then a strict laws and boundaries put in place before re-opening. this is achievable especially with the presence of a JDF base on the cay.

  • Those hookah divers are also the most frequent patients at the DBML recompression chamber, and those are the lucky ones.

  • Well done Nathalie! The final cut looks good. You might want some subtitles (unfortunately) for the international audience.

  • A catch 22 situation eh! Education is the key? Less and less fish but fish is the staple diet of the Caribbean and main job of many. Totally agree with film but governments are going to have to supplement the fishermen and make other foods cheaper for the people to eat and survive.

  • "Massa god, fish Cyan done" no sir actually fish can done.
