When it comes to ecological impact, the ocean often gets overlooked—despite representing the lion’s share of the worlds environmental issues. Commercial fishing has a devastating effect on animals, plants, CO2, and even the fishing workforce’s well-being and safety.
In this conversation, we share our thoughts and reactions to the new documentary Seaspiracy, as well as some findings on the ethics of consuming sea animals.
Specifically, we discuss:
- Initial reactions to Seaspiracy
- Industrialised farming versus fish farming versus recreational fishing
- Our experience reading labels at our local supermarket
- What steps we can take to help preserve aquatic life
