The director of a new documentary on overfishing says Australia needs to act now to protect its fish stocks or it will suffer dire consequences.
Rupert Murray is in Sydney to promote the film The End of The Line, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and opens to Australian audiences in April.
The film warns that 70 per cent of global stocks are now in trouble and there could be no seafood by the middle of the century unless practices change.
He says the depletion of fish stocks worldwide is a major environmental problem.
