Fishing is always percieved by the public as being a basic industry due to its history. The first image that comes to mind is someone with a rod or net by a water source, however the film shows that just like other areas of modern civilisation technology has advanced so far and so quickly that marine dwellers simply have no chance. Radar and navigation systems can now map vast areas whcih not only locate schools of fish but also the areas where fish take refuge. Technology in the industry has simply left no time for species to recover. Fish species are now mirroring resources such as creude oil and natural gas and just like these resources fish species, if not allowed to recover, will become finite. The film is brilliant for raising awareness of the over exploitation of our oceans but what captivated me the most was emphasis that fish are a necessity our planet needs, not just strange, cold, slimy creatures that taste good.
