Description
This video provides information, statistics and compelling stories from both coasts of Canada to examine the rapid disappearance of fish stocks and the decimation of the oceans over the past 10-15 years. The focus on the over-exploitation of resources and poor fishery management practices provides an excellent case study of the need for sustainable development.
