The End of the Line: Who is Most at Risk from the Crisis in Global Fisheries?

The crisis of global overfishing has been widely covered in both the scientific literature and the popular media over the last decade. However, with his recent film The End of the Line (Murray 2009), Rupert Murray tells the story with unprecedented power. Heralded as the “Inconvenient Truth” for fisheries—a reference to David Guggenheim’s influential film on the perils of climate change—The End of the Line provides a rich, well-argued and sobering picture of how people, the oceans' top predator, have brought many of the worlds fisheries to collapse.
