> THE END OF THE LINE
> Imagine a World without Fish

> Tuesday, September 22, 7pm
> SB Downtown Library
> Suggested donation: $7
> Fresh from its World Premiere at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival,
> THE END OF THE LINE is the first major documentary about the
> imminent peril facing the world’s oceans.
>
> Narrated by Ted Danson and based on the book by Charles Clover, THE
> END OF THE LINE explores the devastating effect that overfishing is
> having on fish stocks and the health of our oceans. Scientists
> predict that if we continue fishing at the current rate, the planet
> will completely run out of fish by 2048.
>
> Endorsed by and with major marketing support from National
> Geographic, Greenpeace, and the Natural Resources Defense Fund
> (NRDC), THE END OF THE LINE is the definitive film of 2009 for those
> who care about the environment, the safety of our food supply, and
> the preservation of endangered species.
>
> More than just a doomsday warning, THE END OF THE LINE offers real,
> practical solutions that are simple and doable, including advocating
> for controlled fishing of engendered species, protecting networks of
> marine reserves off-limits to fishing, and educating consumers that
> they have a choice by purchasing fish from sustainable fisheries.
>
> “The inconvenient truth about the impact of overfishing on the
> world’s oceans.” — The Economist

> WATCH THE TRAILER: http://www.hopedance.org/videos/bobbanner/videos/trailers/final-cinema-trailer-for-the-end-of-the-line
> or at their website, visit www.endoftheline.com

> After the film, we will have some local fish experts on hand to lead
> the discussion and answer your questions:
>
> Kim Selkoe is co-director of the Ty Warner Sea Center’s Sustainable
> Seafood Program, an outreach effort to assist chefs, markets and
> citizens in supporting local and sustainable seafood.
>
> Michael Sheehy is Santa Barbara Channelkeeper's Marine Conservation
> Coordinator, his role is to communicate with and educate the public
> on marine conservation efforts and issues as they pertain to the
> Santa Barbara Channel, including engaging the public in the Marine
> Life Protection Act Initiative process in the South Coast region.
>
> Juliana Shulman is a field organizer for GreenCorps, assigned to
> Food and Water Watch. She is launching a campaign called "Fair
> Fish", building a coalition to persuade Lois Capps to call for a
> congressional oversight hearing of the Magnusen-Stevens Act. Catch-
> share programs are being implemented up and down the east and west
> coast by regional fisheries management programs to consolidate
> fisheries/fisherman. Catch-share programs have already been
> implemented in the Gulf and have destroyed many small local
> fisherman businesses.
>
> Hope to see you there!

> P.S. Here's another important alert from Food and Water Watch. Take
> action to protect family fishermen, our oceans and consumer health.

> Most of us have probably heard that there aren’t as many fish in our
> oceans as there once were. With high demand for seafood, our
> government is trying to figure out how to conserve and manage the
> fish we do have fairly. Unfortunately, the primary way our
> government wants to regulate fish is called “catch shares”. The
> government sets a limit on how many fish can be taken at a time,
> than tells each fisherman how much of that limit he/she is
> personally allowed to catch.
>
> One big problem with catch shares is that every year, more historic
> fishermen are being forced out of business, because the government
> is favoring large enterprises and giving them more of the fish to
> catch. Even though these big business operations are more likely to
> use destructive fishing practices, less likely to hire local
> fishermen, and tend to provide a mass-produced, often lower quality
> product for consumers, they are being trusted with our fish because
> it seems easier to oversee a couple big businesses rather than many
> small ones. Traditional fishermen – and their crews – are being
> forced out of work, destroying coastal communities, putting our
> oceans at risk and bringing more industrially produced seafood to
> consumers plates.
>
> The good news is that the system for deciding who gets to fish is
> not set in stone. The agency in the government that regulates
> fishing is trying to set up more programs like this across the
> country – but we can ask Congress to step in and stop. We can
> manage our fish in a way that ensures fair and equitable access for
> small-scale and traditional fishermen and gives consumers access to
> fish products caught in a fair and more sustainable manner.
