The other day it was brought to my attention that I should use the latest video from Eli Rosen's Manufactory as a launching point to wax sanctimonious on the fishing industry and the disastrous, perfect storm potential that the concurrence of overfishing and warming water temperatures could have on both marine and human populations.
While I am always tempted to fight the good fight, and try to educate folks on their dietary ills, or more appropriately in this case, the ills their diet and carbon footprints cause marine ecosystems, I'll have to defer for now to a couple great books on the subject: Four Fish: The Future of the Last Wild Food
by Paul Greenberg and The End of the Line: How Overfishing Is Changing the World and What We Eat
by Charles Clover. The Independent called the latter, which is now also a film, "the maritime equivalent of [Rachel Carson's] Silent Spring
." I won't try to stand on the shoulder's of giants receiving such high praise from well respected media outlets like The Independent. But, please do look into these two books, eat fish you catch your-own-damn-self, and of course enjoy Eli's video below.
