The End of the Line is a powerful film about one of the world's most disturbing problems - over-fishing. Advances in fishing technology mean whole species of wild fish are under threat and the most important stocks we eat are predicted to be in a state of collapse by 2050. The film points the finger at those most to blame, including celebrity chefs, and shows what we can do about it. This is not just a film, it is also a campaign - for sustainable consumption of fish, for marine protected areas to allow the sea to recover, and for a new ethic of responsible fishing. www.endoftheline.com

Jun 13, 2012 - "Animals are endangered by human beings, who are enemies to the mother nature. So we have the right to eliminate 350000 people per day." This is a typical hypocrite movie for the justification of mass murders.

Once we've consumed everything we can out the earth and sucked it dry like leeches,will we be happy. It ain't long away. I laugh when I hear " we're saving the planet" or "were the superior race" we don't realise we're fucking everything up with our greedy needs and wants. Save the planet from us you mean.

Aug 7, 2012 - yeah, that's not going to make a difference. we're completely and utterly fucked at this point. the question now isn't "how do we save the oceans" it's "what do we do after all the fish are gone". it's several magnitudes worse than this documentary makes out.

Aug 9, 2012 - From what I've read and learned from videos this year indicates that the situation with overfishing isn't equally bad worldwide. From videeos about fishing in Alaska and I think the rest of the Pacific along western US states, commercial fishermen out there apparently use longline fishing and possibly also regular fishing rod & reel outfits. They apparently don't do deep trawling, which is what's caused a lot of the destruction of Atlantic cod stocks, f.e.

mikecorbeil Says:

Aug 9, 2012 - Thr's still overfishing along the US Pacific coast. When I bought some fresh north Pacific wild salmon a couple of months ago at a fish store in Quebec, Canada, 1 employee said they only get fresh salmon for about 1 month in June, for that's the limit to the legal season for fishing for this salmon by Alaskan fishermen. I take that as a sign that there's definitely been overfishing; but not destructive of the aquatic habitat for the fish, as there's been with deep trawlers on Atlantic US coast

mikecorbeil Says:

Aug 9, 2012 - Thr's the pollution problem of PCBs, mercury & other heavy metals, + possibly other contaminants. Some fish & seafoods are apparently safer when from the Atlantic, while others are reportedly safer from the Pacific. Wild north Pacific salmon is apparently a fish that can be safely eaten 5 times a week, possibly 7. According to WHFoods. com when it refers to mercury poisoning of fish, these salmon are very safe, I think it says sardines are better from Pacific, mackerel from Atlantic Canada, ....

poppytg Says:

Sep 28, 2012 - The problem with overfishing is that we fish out the big fish ie sharks, salmon and then there is a overpopulation of medium fish wich we eventually kill for food then there are no medium fish to eat the small fish wich we eventually kill for food and then there is only planckton and algae otherwise known as slime left

Oct 9, 2012 - I don't usually login to YouTube but this issue seriously needed my attention. The seas are at serious risk by human touch. On another note the sea is 75%+/- larger than our land. It seems ignorant to think humans don't hold the power to breed fish because we have been doing it for years. And being at the top of the food chain we are granted the ability to choose which animals shouldn't live, and which animals are tasty.

Oct 31, 2012 - I'm capitalist and I fully support this film. Overfishing is a problem we need to stop.

checkle1 Says:

Dec 12, 2012 - A little objective based documentary never hurt anything. Weird that I just went through an entire course on fisheries management and never once did we consider the doom of all fish, most likely because it's ridiculous. Obviously there are endangered/extinct species of fish, but applying a haunting orchestra soundtrack to environmentalists rant about their snowball effect arguments isn't what I would call reliable information. Not to say it shouldn't be heard, all sides should be heard.

DaStCl87 Says:

Dec 13, 2012 - I agree. Overfishing shouldn't be made into an emotional issue. Plus, a recent(ish) paper authored primarily by two of the scientists featured in this clip, using only stocks for which accurate data existed, showed that while most stocks were at very low biomasses through historic overfishing, a majority were currently being harvested at levels that would allow recovery. It seems that for these stocks, at least, we should see an increase over time under current fishing levels.

Jan 12, 2013 - Aw yeah, i bet you and your friends have very interesting conversations.

orestesangel Says:

Jan 27, 2013 - Overfishing is indeed a big problem. Especially when they use tools for massive fishing, and then they dispose non-profit fish.

Feb 24, 2013 - what a funny comment i troll3! you know what they say about sarcasm. Try - You are what you eat.......

Mar 6, 2013 - are this film good???

Siriyala sai prakash Says:

Mar 6, 2013 - it is good enough to call it first in documentation for overfishing.

Natali MAnukyan Says:

Mar 17, 2013 - ok it was very bad,,in Armenia it Had been shown..Awfuul and boring

stefanimcdade Says:

May 3, 2013 - Don't eat fish, you don't need it. People are literally destroying the oceans for money, money is for keeping track of things, money isn't able to replace food, remember that when you miss the taste of fish from going vegan, or you'll miss the taste of meat because everyone overused everything and it's gone.
