Let’s Begin…
Overfishing is the depletion of a stock of fish (in a body of water) by too much fishing. Many people are unaware of the scary facts behind the fish we eat. This animation creates much needed awareness about the ocean's most solvable problem while reminding us that we all have a role to play in fixing it.
When we think about conservation, it is important to remember that everything is interconnected. Managing the ocean is not something that can be done in isolation. We have to consider all the water bodies that collectively flush out into the ocean and the things they carry. With that in mind how do you think the actions of a remote community in the middle of a continent impact the oceans?
