The end of the line: who is most at risk from the crisis in global fisheries?

Abstract

This synopsis praises the film "The end of the line" in bringing attention to fisheries and food crisis faced by the world. However, not enough focus has been placed on African fisheries where food fish is a key component of the protein intake by a large population. To help tackle the global fisheries crisis, the synopsis recommends two more strategies i) use aid to help secure the productivity of the fish stockes upon which the world's poor depend and ii) invest in developing sustainable aquaculture solutions that meet the food needs of the poor in developing countries.
