An Ocean Mystery: The Missing Catch - Around the world millions of people depend on fish, but what if we’re running out? As government and industry regulators track the quantity of fish we catch, and claim the oceans can handle the huge catches, fish numbers keep dropping.
World-renowned fisheries expert, Dr. Daniel Pauly, suspects that we are dangerously overfishing the world’s fish supply. He believes that bad data masks how close we are to running out of fish, to prove it he and his team have conducted the most ambitious fishing investigation the world has ever seen.
