Tomorrow, the first ever World Ocean Day, is the day that makers of a new film which is already making waves have cannily chosen for its global release.
A film documentary, The End of the Line, reveals that hi-tech superfishing is emptying out our oceans so that there are, in fact, no longer plenty more fish in the sea.
It opens with an account of the devastating collapse of cod fish stocks in waters around Canada’s Newfoundland in the early Nineties. Twenty years later, there has been little recovery.
