Pierson Foundation) BACKGROUND Sea the Truth is based on numerous scientific publications that examine the problems of seas and oceans. Below follows an overview of the themes addressed in the film and a brief explanation. DEEP TROUBLE: WHALE MORTALITY CAUSED BY OVERFISHING According to a report of the New Zealand news channel 3News sea mammals, among which whales, are dying of malnutrition. The makers claim that this is caused by overfishing. Watch the report here: www.3news.co.nz FISHING POLICY AND QUOTA Fishing policy around the world is destructive. Recommendations from scientists on quotas are ignored by policy makers, wealthy countries plunder the fishing territories of poor countries and bottom trawlers sow destruction all over the seafloor with their dragnets. In Europe, 88% of fish stocks have been overharvested, such as the blue fin tuna which sadly is threatened with extinction. EFFECTS OF FISHING ON MARINE ECOSYSTEMS In addition to the effect on the fish stocks, fishing also affects all other organisms in the same habitat or ecosystem. Whether the fish being harvested are predatory or prey, the balance of the ecosystem is disrupted and this can have serious consequences. The degree of disruption strongly depends on the fishing method employed. BYCATCH The term bycatch has come to be used to refer to fish caught <b>...</b>

The Chicken is a direct descendant of the great and feared Tyrannosaurus-Rex. Why is this relevant? Well I've brought up to believe you do something bad, Karma will get you. Sooner or later. You don't see the Great, Mighty Feared Chicken running around ruling the town like he used to, do you? If Mr. T-Rex ate a few dinosaurs, did a few bad things and he turn into the Battery Chicken. Imagine what we might be later on in Evolution? That is if we don't destroy the planet before. The Great Barrier Reef, Thousands visit it every year, It's one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. We live next to it, it been feeding Families for thousands of years, it's been around for millions. Are we really going to let our stupid human race destroy it, or are we going to kick our asses into gear, and go do something. As Ghandi once said, Be The Change You Wish To See. This is a major problem and the first part to our small Video Serries. (Just two videos dont get excited). Please like and/or comment, It helps.

Predatory fish are at the top of the ocean food chain. They help keep the balance of marine life in check. Without their eating habits, an overabundance of smaller organisms might affect the entire underwater ecosystem. Some scientists say such a shift could lead to a total collapse of the oceans. Yet so far, those in charge of regulating international fisheries have done little to protect at least one endangered species. VOA's Arash Arabasadi reports.

Over-fishing and climate change are being blamed for the world's diminishing fish stocks. One of the most graphic examples is the decreasing numbers of tuna. Experts are meeting in Mexico to discuss ways of protecting tuna stocks, as environmentalists warn that some species could be extinct in just three years. Tony Birtley reports from the western Pacific island of Guam to see how the local fishing industry is being hit hard.

MaximsNewsNetwork: 12 June 2010 - UNTV: In Tunisia, fishing villages are on the brink of collapse, but local fishermen have some innovative solutions. Marine pollution is a key factor in the fisheries decline. Longer and more frequent droughts together with declining fisheries have forced many islanders to abandon their homes and migrate to the mainland in search of a better life. In 2009, Tunisia passed a new regulation limiting fishing in the marine protected areas. SOUNDBITE (Arabic) Hassen Ben Mansour, Fisherman: "Charfia is a traditional way of fishing, and it's the best way because it doesn't harm the sea." "Charfia is going to vanish. There is not enough fish to allow us to make a living." "In 1986, I used to bring from the charfia 150 to 200 kilos, even 300 kilos per day. But today we got only two and a half to three kilos." "The big boats came, and they took every fish with them. Everyone is acting violently towards the sea." "When the water gets hot, the fish move away and go to deeper waters." SOUNDBITE (French) Hamadi Trabelsi, Meteorologist for the Global Environment Facility's Small Grants Programme: "According to the measurement of the Institute of Science and Technology of the Sea, the temperature of sea water in the Gulf of Gabes, including Kerkennah, has risen one degree." "In Kerkennah, you will see palm trees and other trees dying because of sea water intrusion." SOUNDBITE (French) Najib Mallek, President of the Environmental Commission of the local <b>...</b>

Pacific News Center Report: The Pacific region provides over 60% of the world's tuna market. Greenpeace Rep. Lagi Toribau says overfishing threatens to the extinction of Yellowfin and Big-Eye tuna. Tuna fishing is a money driven industry and their main interest is to satisfy a global appetite. Toribau says there must be reduction of 50% in overall fishing in the Pacific, No-Take international Marine perserves, and banning of all at seas trans-shipments.

Both overfishing and dirty fishing have a tremendous affect on the ocean ecosystem and the creatures living in it. We can all work to do our part in saving the ocean, even if it's just by doing small things that might not seem like they matter. This is a video about some of those things.

The pollock population in Alaska's Bering Sea has dropped nearly 50% this year due to overfishing. The pollock is the basis of the Bering ecosystem and without it species like the endangered Steller sea lion and fur seals could disappear. Local fishermen depend on the Bering for survival as well. Visit greenpeace.org to take action now and help save the Bering Sea.

SupremeMasterTV.com - Extinctions on the rise in the Galapagos fishing and global warming devastating islands' species. The Ecuadorian Galapagos Islands were first brought to the worlds attention as the site where Darwin tested his theory of evolution. Now, they are speaking of the fragile state of our seas as a new report in the journal Global Change Biology indicates that the Galapagos black-spotted damselfish , and a remarkable 24-rayed starfish called Heliaster solaris are likely extinct as they have not been seen in the last 25 years. Rising ocean temperatures caused by global warming-induced El Niño weather events as well as excessive fishing are blamed for their disappearance as well as the decline of other species such as the Galapagos penguin and the Floreana cup coral.
