Farming The Seas
Documentary (55 min.)

As today's demand for seafood far exceeds the ocean's ability to keep pace, aquaculture -- or fish farming -- has become necessary to take pressure off over-exploited fisheries. Yet, large sectors of the global aquaculture industry involve practices that many scientists fear contribute to the further collapse of ocean fish populations. With stunning and rare visuals, Farming the Seas goes around the world and examines the pros and cons of various forms of aquaculture, and the role that consumers can play to shape the future of our marine resources. Sequel to the award-winning special Empty Oceans, Empty Nets (2002).
