Free-Plastic Ocean and Sustainable Fishing Campaign: Webisode 7 - What happens in the sea with fish?

 Ocean Documentary: What Happens in the Sea with Fish?

Human activity is driving marine life toward the brink of extinction. Overfishing, habitat destruction, and climate change have led to the loss of nearly half of the world's marine mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish in just one generation.

Today's documentary highlights the grim fate of fish once they are caught by human hands. Young fishermen spend entire days at sea, hoping to catch enough fish to ease their hunger. Size doesn't matter—small or large, they catch them all. Often, the fish are kept alive in torment to prevent them from struggling.

Seafood is a crucial food source for the world's growing population, and maintaining healthy fish populations is vital for sustaining healthy oceans. It is our shared responsibility to contribute to sustainable solutions, as the resilience of marine ecosystems and coastal communities relies on responsible fishing practices.

By understanding the life cycles, habitats, and relationships within marine ecosystems, we gain insight into the health of the planet. Human actions and changing environmental conditions will ultimately shape the future of these marine species.
